What Should I Do With My Copper Hoard?

Either cash them in or hold onto them. Coin store won't give u anything more than face even if they will buy them. One day they will be a lot harder to find in circulation. That may be 5 years or it may be 50 years, who knows. That still doesn't mean they will be super valuable like junk silver became but it won't be as easy to get them in the future once they stop making them.

Might be a little sketchy but maybe try listing them on craigslist and see if another copper hoarder will bite. Melt value for 6000 cents right now is about $100 so I would say list them for that and be willing to meet somebody within a 20 mile radius. That should still be a good $30 profit after fuel costs.

I think in many ways hoarding copper cents is a waste of time, but if you're CRHunting anyways then it's probably not a huge deal to save them and I personally think you're going to see a small window of time after they discontinue the cent (which I also think is just a short matter of time before we do) that your going to be able to trade copper cents easier than you have before.

If you've already checked them. Dump them.

As so many have already said, dump them. Take to a bank, get the cash and buy some coins you need or want. OR buy me something for making a good suggestion.

My vote is with those who say dump them - there is little profit in them these days, and there are still lots in circulation.

Keep them. Find the space.

It should go without saying that copper hoarding is a long term play.

IMHO, Your just going to waste your time and energy if you hold. unless your young then maybe it will be worth wild.
I still say cash them in, go to a local coin show and buy something of numismatic value with super eye appeal that will KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF !

Good idea to try craigslist. If that doesn't work out and you don't need the cash free'd up, hanging on to them couldn't hurt. Let us know how things work out :)
