Young-Skyler New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 08/16/2012 11:10 pm Is anyone remotely interested in buying pre 1982 pennies for their copper content? And if so: Would you rather buy them in rolls, or loose? And how much over face value would you buy for? Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff

Saw an ad on CL where a guy was trying to sell 800 pennies for 800 bucks, nothing o f real value, just copper. The guys off his rocker. Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 04:48 am IIRC its currently illegal to melt those cents for copper content. I guess even if you could, you would have to 100's or 1000's to get even on the cost. Edited by Fuzzy317 08/17/2012 04:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
Young-Skyler New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 07:48 am yeah, but most people on ebay pay from 1.5-1.8x facevalue, search in hoard copper in the search bar and there are a whole bunch of posts about this. Report this Post to the Staff
XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 12:19 pm When I have sold them on ebay I found the best way to list them was to sell them in lots of $50 face aand shipping them via a medium flat rate box. If you sell them at $79.99 plus shipping you'll be making around $18 after the ebay and paypal fees. Report this Post to the Staff
