Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 06/20/2021 11:48 pm Quote: Quote: If I'm not mistaken, melting down copper cents is currently illegal.. Very true..Thus the reason for my post as I felt it was insinuated by another member that this was my intention for telling the OP to save ALL of his copper Cents. I merely made my comment of keeping all of the copper Cents in respect that the Mint will never make copper Cents again. And having a hoard of them would possibly be beneficial to heirs. I guess I should have explained myself in more detail as opposed to having my comment taken completely out of context. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 06/21/2021 12:03 am Now I see from where come your coins. I think that you has some semi-date or full dates. Look for the errors also, I find more errors in those albums then others places. For the copper, at this moment could not be sell. Till a coin it is a legal tender, any intentionally ablation or intentionally damages is done on them, it is a federal offence. I will wait for the copper because I am sure the mint will start to buy back the coins at metal price. When? No one know. Edited by silviosi 06/21/2021 12:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
Jbdcboy Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 06/21/2021 07:58 am My big thing is touches! If I'm going to touch a coin I want to minimize the number of looks it gets. So when I sort they immediately go into years/mints and then into a drawer organizer such as this https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai...gBEBk&adurl= From there it is about familiarity with year "issues" (Weschler's, VV, CC.) and then ieach coin is reviewed and in a roll or a 2x2 or album. I'm currently struggling with how much to keep as well. Depending on the numbers, I may fill a book and sell. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/21/2021 7:01 pm How could they tell if you had melt some copper cents? The tin/zinc present would be the tell tale sign that they were melted cents.(Very small percentage though) Report this Post to the Staff
