How Much Longer Will Copper Cents Be In Circulation ?

Thanks Hockingzig for your kind gesture let the lord be with them .

A 48% premium is nice, but the whole concept doesn't scale. If you have steady access to huge quantities, and some sort of lorry to move them, then there is some profit, but holding on to tonnes of copper coins until the price of copper doubles just is not practical.

The real money is to get them and sell the storage problem to someone else. Even if you only clear 10% a week, in a quarter, you more than double your money, even if copper prices fall. It might be years before copper doubles.

I think I have a whole 3 pounds by now, so I'm pretty serious

If you weren't asking double I would have bought some but I could get them on ebay for less

I was attempting to balance the weight of firearms on my boat using those copper pennies. I must have overloaded or had a leak because the whole vessel sank as I hurried back to register the boat after forgetting to.

I think you missed it by about six years.

But that is just my opinion.

You say that in jest, but one night, Johnny Carson has a throwaway joke about the military going to have a toilet paper shortage because no one bid on their contract.

Within 48 hours, there wasn't a roll of TP to be had. Little old ladies who didn't have 60 rolls in them were buying up shopping carts of it.
