Priced kinda high, but free shipping for 20 tons has to count for something.

Nope, the change machine spits out dollar coins.

Really, not much at all. I try to spend them as soon as I get them. Same thing with my cents and other change. I do not suffer from heavy pockets or a fat wallet.

Of course, the skinny wallet has other contributing causes...

I've got all of my "junk 59-81" cents in a big 5 gallon waste basket... it's about 3/4 full... All of the S mints and the scarcer date (and harder to find out here) Philly coins (59-63, 69-71) have been pulled.

Only 77 lbs worth?

I am sitting on 800 lbs from roll hunting that are pretty much unsellable since the day copper took a $1 a pound hit overnight 2 years ago.

That is impressive, Jack!

My wife would kill me!

I was only briefly "serious" in CRH, and only did nickels regularly. I did maybe 5-10 boxes of cents total, and I was off-and-on about pulling them from circulation and my till at work. I did spend a few years pulling 100% of the copper I came across and putting it into the bucket, but I stopped that when I resolved to scrap the whole project.

Yea I am thinking of cashing in about $100 worth of copper (no wheats) just cashed in my extra presidential's and now am wondering why I am keeping a tube of each ATB Quarter just too much stuff with no value.

Finn235 you have a good point. As a young lad, an experienced collector advised me that one valuable old coin in Mint State condition is better than many lower graded, lower priced coins. Or something to that effect. I did dump my State Quarter hoard at my local coin shop in exchange for some US Mint Silver Proof sets when the silver price dropped down to $14 an ounce. The price he charged for the sets was lower than the original issue price, so it was a good exchange. I will keep my copper for the time being, I coin roll hunt every month or two so I have a little under five gallons. It's good to know the approximate value. Thank you.
