A scale is important as well. Personally still looking for the elusive '83 Copper and of course the "Aluminum cent"...just a dream...have little to no idea what I'd do with one if found.

Owassokie, that is a very good point. The impurity of earlier Wheat cent coins send them in the reject bin when your target coin is a copper cent. I talked to Andy about it. I had an idea to use a zinc penny in the comparator and he said that will work if I'm going to brush through the copper anyway. I guess people who want the wheats and not just coppers will do that

Basically the way they work is you get one pile of one type of coin, copper, zinc, steel (like Canadian) whatever you put in the comparator, and another pile of everything else. Basically I will get a pile of zinc and the other pile will be coppers, canadians, anything not zinc. I'm just going to hunt through those :)

I used the list last night on whatever pennies I could see as a date. Didnt find anything but was an education though learning terms like WAM and such.

I did have a inquiry for you all. Is it worth keeping at this point in time (not for the copper content) any 1960's or 1970's pennies in BU condition? I remember finding 4 or 5 of them in the past but re-rolled them and sent them off to the bank.

If they are truly unc, sure. For a cent a piece, you can go wrong. Especially with metal value on top. If you're ever hard up for a penny, you could always spend it. But I mean... one cent? I just consider it a savings plan and save anything I feel like.
