Right at 2000lbs. A shade under $1000 face rolled, the rest loose.

As long as I'm searching, I'll keep saving.

I have $400 face value in bags of $50 each to sell. My limit is the size of my safe, and I'm about maxed right now. Time to unload them.

Interesting question:

54 Large cents
2 Flying Eagle cents
~1700 Indian Heads
~15,000 Wheat Pennies
~10,000 post 1959 cents
+an unknown number sitting around in jars, etc.

I know that it is sure getting heavy and I hope they don't go through the floor

About 800lbs, which comes to about 115,000 coppers, all unrolled. And none of them are searched for errors/varieties.
I started hoarding them since 2009 specifically for their copper value and nothing else.
No max target yet.


52Raymo... a full 5-gallon pail weighs about 210 lbs, which is approx 30K coppers.

I have about 35,000 copper Lincolns and 2500 wheaties. The wife mocks me so. She calls them "Daddy's Mindless Pennies".

Bout 800 pounds. One "quest" I have in roll hunting is to put together one full roll of each year (including all mints) of BU or near BU coins 1959 to date. This includes all varieties of 1982 cents and 2009 cents. Am about 2/3 done! :-) have just about all zinc cents done. Certain 60s dates seem to be the real stinkers.

Definitely... at some point. I keep pushing the start day further down the road.
Keeping myself very busy with searching the zincs for now.
