RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 09/01/2017 5:39 pm I just headed down to my bank and picked up 4 rolls of pennies. And would you guess it? Every. Single. Coin. was from 1982. Not BU, and I believe all copper, but it seems odd to me. Someone dumping their copper collection? Report this Post to the Staff

okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 09/01/2017 6:20 pm Yeah, you can put them aside for the point in time that pennies can be melted and you'll have doubled your money. Report this Post to the Staff

There's no reason for the government to ever allow anyone but themselves to profit off that. But more importantly they aren't pure copper, you won't get the top price for them anyway. A refinery offer would almost certainly be significantly back of melt. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/01/2017 7:06 pm Also, there's plenty of copper around without ever having to melt copper coinage...why it is absolutely worthless to be saving/stockpiling copper coins. In the zombie apocalypse, bullets and food become the only barter commodities. Makes more sense to put cents in those... Report this Post to the Staff
aristarchus123 Pillar of the Community United States 1695 Posts	Posted 09/01/2017 7:06 pm That's no fun. I once got a nickel roll on which someone had written "silver coins." Unfortunately, it was not full of silver nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 09/01/2017 7:07 pm I believe there are seven varieties for that years. Do you already have them all? Might be fun to try to find those. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 09/01/2017 10:43 pm Good point, Buddy, but only 3 varieties of copper 82's. Report this Post to the Staff
