But it can't be as bad as asking "so where can i get rolls of coins??"
When sorting copper I never bother keeping 82's. From what I understand there are several varieties, and some are copper and some are clad. I know someone who takes a file to each one, and I'm sure others weigh them.
When hand sorting though, I'm sure that it is pretty common for people to throw back 82s since it's not worth bothering right now with all the available copper pennies. it's more worth your time to look through more coins.
So, will one day 1982's be the new 40%ers? Gold was $34.71 in 1945, and 67 years later silver was that price while gold is in the $1700s. Eventually when copper reaches prices we never would have even imagined, what we will call "95%ers" will be rare, while 1982s, while still 95%, while be 40%ers in the sense that they will be the easiest to find because there was a factor preventing their culling (although in the case of 40%ers it's lack of knowledge).
Thoughts?
