Also, I have weighed the '82s. No wheats, all 1960-1982. Edited by Superhal 10/12/2013 9:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCbass Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 10/13/2013 06:27 am i recently got $145 for $100 face on ebay, but til you take out shipping and fees I made like $23. Barely worth the effort, if at all. however, if you can sell them on craigslist and remove the ebay and shipping, it was worth it. I used to get 150 to 155/100 face on craigslist. my buyer dried up. I was filling his vault for him. Report this Post to the Staff

Broseph Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 10/19/2013 12:23 pm ebay fees are 10% now, paypal is 2.9% + $0.30. A roll couldn't sell on ebay at a profit because it's too small a margin. You would have to sell at $1.45, then a few dollars more for shipping just to break even. copper pennies are ofter sold in CTUs, copper trade units. That's $100 FV. That usually sells between $160-180 on ebay. Even at the high end, $180 x .871 = 156.78 -.30 = 156.48 -$16.85 shipping cost = $139.63 - $100fv = 39.63 profit, best case scenario possible on ebay.
