What US Coins Have Silver Value?

first off, don't melt them down. that would get you less money than you would have with the coins intact.

second off, don't forget about the 1964 and earlier pennies.

Maybe he means 1981 and earlier for Lincoln cents. They are made of copper and the price of copper is up about 33% in the last 6 months.

I think he is refering to "cents of humor".

WHAT? You mean all those Silver looking 1943 pennies I've got are not pure Silver? Darn and I wanted to make bullets out of them to shoot Warewolves.


You'll have a real challenge there. Probably 50%, or much more, of the population on Earth are now searching for Silver coins. Many people are taking them to jewlers now for melting. Your really sort of late with the Silver search thing. I suggest you try for valuable Beanie Babies too. Much easier to find as a Silver coin. But good luck anyway.

I found a 40% half in $100 worth. It was my first excursion at roll searching. I am using the clads for tips at restaraunts when I dine out.

aye. the hoarding is getting out of hand. I would say that I wouldn't expect the good finds to keep rolling in much longer. I think you're better off with pennies.

and yes, I was joking. sheesh.

PS--some of the 1982 pennies also contain copper. I can usually spot them with the naked eye, but the surest way is to weigh them.

fenton...that is great...but most of us are searching for all sorts of things....copper pennies are just an added benefit.
