Kabiye_Lady Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 03/07/2008 01:22 am Yeah, about 20-25% is normal. I've saved from pocket change and the occasional roll for the past 3 years. I now have about $40 - I think I'll stop at $50. What is cool about it is that if it ever gets to x5 face value, I'd have $250 for really nothing - since I don't miss those pennies.

MorganNoob Pillar of the Community United States 533 Posts	Posted 03/07/2008 3:07 pm I just went through a quart ziplock bag chock full of cents. I had them when I was a kid, and just recently picked them up. (if you read my "Forgotten Treasures?" post you know what I am talking about) Well, the newest penny in there was '92 and only a few of them. I was mostly just sorting the copper from the Zincolns, and pulled aside all the nice shiny AU coins. I had two 20oz plastic solo cups. When I was done I had about 40-50 (guess) '82's and a bunch of shiny '70's and the copper cup was almost full, and there was about an inch of Zincolns in their cup. BTW, I love the '82's! Sorting the copper from the zinc is kinda fun! Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/07/2008 4:54 pm The dealer that purchased those for about 2cents each may have other plans for those. Remember he didn't have to go to a bank, spend time on ebay or other web sites, he didn't have to drive anywhere, no money for gas, oil, wear and tear on his car, no time looking through piles of coins for a Copper one. Just pay someone for all their troubles. Then another thing is if he knows or suspects those are all commons, and he knows electricians that sort of find places to recycle wires and cables, they throw those in for weight of Copper. Happens around here all the time. Report this Post to the Staff
