SE Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 03/03/2007 7:00 pm The funny part is that the rolls were a "freebie". A local coin shop owner gave them to me shortly before going out of business. He told me there was no use to check them because he had his son already go through them. Looks like his son pulled a fast one on him, to my benefit. LOL Report this Post to the Staff

BenVA Valued Member United States 135 Posts	Posted 03/06/2007 1:43 pm Good luck with your auction pennybright. It seems like I saw someone selling the pre 1982 pennies in large lots a while back. I think this may have been before the new laws against melting down the coins. I put your auction on my watch list. I have a pretty good bit of these pennies. I have been saving them for a couple of years. Now since I cant scrap them I was thinking of just cashing them in. BenVA Report this Post to the Staff

The profit was only $260.64 and that assumes you got the wheaties at face value. If you paid over face value for them in the first place then the profit is even lower. (But it is still a pretty good profit.) Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4869 Posts	Posted 03/18/2007 8:50 pm I have started to separate the pre 1982 cents from my change. Who knows, I might make some money off them when I have several pounds! Report this Post to the Staff

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4869 Posts	Posted 03/18/2007 9:00 pm I looked more closely and Susan's and Bobby's auction and realized those were wheat cents. I wonder if 5000 pre 1982 memorial cents would bring in the big money like the wheaties? Report this Post to the Staff
