That much copper is worth about $45,000 today. I wonder what the numismatic value of the coins would be!

The issuer, Aaron White, was a teetotaling attorney and banker and was considered somewhat of an eccentric. He hoarded coins and precious metals. Upon his death he had acquired at least four and a half tons of copper cents (at a value of $8,000).

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
