LeoS Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted Today 5H 36M ago I came across a couple boxes of pennies that appear to be factory fresh, from 1982. They weigh 3.1 grams each. What do I do with them all? Any input would help. Edited by LeoS Today 32M ago Report this Post to the Staff

Roller42 Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted Today 4H 58M ago The weight would make them copper and the melt value is about 4 cents each, though it is still illegal to melt them. If they were mine, I'd go through looking for errors and varieties, then dump the remainder in my copper hoard bag. "I like money. I can't believe you like money, too. We should hang out."

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 16064 Posts	Posted Today 4H 44M ago I agree with the 'search them' approach, but I suggest you do your research first to determine which know varieties exist on the 1982 Philly mint copper cents. Our experts will be along shortly to provide some helpful links to various variety sources. Once you have a feel for what you are looking for, then search away! Let us know what you find.
