CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 05/19/2021 09:44 am Numismatic News - Yet another 1983 solid copper-alloy bronze Lincoln cent has been discovered. It was found by Ernie Gesner of Oregon, who hoards pre-1982 (and 1982) copper cents for their melt value. While he did not start out as a collector per se, last year he consulted a copy of my book Strike It Rich With Pocket Change, co-authored with me by Dr. Brian Allen. Gesner took noteof our listing for the 1983 Bronze cent discovered by the late Billy Crawford and started searching for one, being of the feeling that the value justified the search.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 3906 Posts	Posted 05/20/2021 09:27 am Love stories like this. I guess that eBay listing I saw a couple of years ago for 600,000 copper cents for $80,000 might have been a good deal after all. ps. shipping was provided but you had to have a forklift available to unload the 17 pallets of bulk cents. These bulk orders can still be found for those with enough time to look through them. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 12/13/2022 03:04 am Great find, but why are the 89D and 90D bronze planchets not worth nearly as much as the 82D or 83P?
