I probably have close to $100 face value worth right now from roll searching. Not really sure what I am saving them for other than I feel I need to. Just been to lazy to sell them off on ebay.

Currently holding 220lbs in LMC.

I sold 80lbs last winter to a guy on Craigslist.

No limit in sight.

My limit is when I can't hold anymore. I got around 15 rolls. I am keeping them because I like how they're copper. Not because someone told me to collect them.

I have a little over 26,000. My goal is to get as many as I can squeeze in my room before they disappear entirely from circulation.

I have around 50 pounds of Cu LWC and LMC. I don't suspect that I'll ever do anything with them. They're fun, super cheap, and easy to collect.

Maybe if someone says you can melt Cu cents at some point I'll trade them in.

About 75,000.
I haven't added much lately, but eventually I'd like to have a ton or a half ton.

I have about $125 face in pre 1982 pennies. I don't really have any plans to stop collecting them, but since I only search about $5 a week in pennies, the collection isn't increasing too fast.

I have over 70lbs in copper memorials and 25 rolls of wheats.
I thought I was a hoarder, but compared to some of you guys, it's pocket change
