Cool, it has a 70's look to me, maybe 60's.

I too have a bunch of webbing that's been chopped up like this, but not copper. I don't think I've ever seen a piece like this one. Really interesting to see. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the comments! And interesting that no one else is chiming in saying they've seen these. Just for comparison, here is an image of the various non-copper webbing I've amassed over time and the number of copper ones.  |

nickelsearcher, I assume they sell the scraps to recover some metal cost. Particularly the single-metal versions of copper cents, zinc cents, and nickels, because you could just melt that straight back into the next batch of coin metal sheets.

Wow!
What a pile of scrap.
I would assume there's no silver?

Just a pile of various denomination clad webbing. Most seem to be quarter size but it's just kind of random. And I do believe Brand maybe hit on it. Clad stuff would be harder to recycle, while all copper scraps would just go back in the metal bin to be melted back down.

Very interesting. I only recently remember this strip originally by Ken Potter. http://goccf.com/t/395759Here they were talking about the mint started chopping the webbing up into tiny pieces for easier handling and more compact storage, and when you chop up webbing you get...bowties. now examination of the points of the bowtie might be able to tell you if it was punched out of the strip, or if it is from chopping. Or if they are found in mint-sewn bags as part of being cut by mistake when punching the Planchets and would be considered an error on those and how some like that get out of the mint naturally perhaps. |

Nice copper bowtie.
I won an auction a couple of years ago that had 2-3 Lincoln cents, each with a piece of copper webbing. I can't recall if it was a "bowtie" or straight on one side.
I'll see if I can locate them. Wish me luck.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
