garys64wildcat Pillar of the Community United States 593 Posts	Posted 12/16/2014 12:35 pm I save about every cent prior to 1983 since I have a hard time telling the copper from zinc. And the nicer 84 and newer. The way it looks the zincolns will dissolve into the ground if let lay. I have picked up some 2010+ that are half dissolved. I'm saving them for the Grand kids I think of some old Wheaties I have found from the teens that are worn about slick and still not etched other than wear and tear. I doubt if too many zinc will be around 100 Yrs. Report this Post to the Staff
jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2202 Posts	Posted 12/16/2014 8:11 pm They will never be worth more than 1 cent. Or maybe even less. That said, when I began collecting coins in 1972, I scoffed at the idea of hoarding BU 1972 pennies. Too common, too many around. Nowadays, some people would be interested in them.

It always amazes me that we can guzzle Coke and Pepsi all day and, for the most part, never have any negative affects, aside from maybe getting a little belly expansion. However, soak some metals in a cup of pop (soda for you non-Michiganders) and it causes heavy damage. It's just one of those miracles of life! Report this Post to the Staff
