Good point dean

 

ha nice, GA. Me and my wife will be moving there in about 5 years with our kids.

 

Why would you want to do that! I hate georgia lol, So Hot, Humid gah..

 

agreed, she has family there and my family is all trouble (drug addicts, dishonest, blah blah blah) so it's best we are around her family.

I almost completed the enlistment process twice but both times my recruiter offered me infantry with an ASVAB score of around 80.

I kept insisting on a job that wasn't for pawns, they said "Infantry is all we are hiring for"

 

Haha sounds like you got a bad recruiter

 

The majority of them are terrible here in Arizona either which way I was excited then because I did four years of N.J.R.O.T.C. and though enlisting as an E-3 would rock, but now that I am 80 pounds over weight (Call centers do that to ya, I work for Verizon Wireless) and married with kids, I guess I will stay out of the Army now.

 

Lol yah, the only reason i joined because it was the only way i was gonna go to college

 

agreed I want to go to college but I am looking at a 85,000 price tag, I guess I will wait until she graduates

 

I haven't really done to much college. I worked hard at my company and am being paid fairly well for my age(21). When I do take some college courses I pay cash but do the payment plan over the course of the semester which only costs like 35 dollars. I won't have a degree for a while but my company is pretty good so over the years I will grow with them to make more money then I do now.

 

Or just sell all your pennies

 

I'd save them, I like to pick up any wheaties I can find...or sell them on ebay. Did you get them for face?

 

sounds good on paper but for somewhere around $300 I'd just rather keep the pennies, now if Copper jumps to around $10 An Ounce I will find a way to smelt them (at home)

Just kidding dont call the government I know it's illegal!

 

I'd like some wheaties, only have two

 

Haha, yeah i thought destroying currency was illegal, yet you can take silver and gold coins in and they melt them down..

 

Only melting U.S. Cents and Nickels for their metal content is currently illegal, silver and gold are fine for melting.

 

Silver and Gold coins were made to be destroyed, that's why some items are refered to as "made from coin silver"

Back until 1914 Silver and Gold = The Us Dollar, then came the Federal Reserve Bank (Thus removed the gold standard) and then in 1964 they removed the Silver standard.

Back in 1914 $20 USD = 1OZ of gold and $1 USD = One ounce of .90 silver.

 

interesting website for ya Camreno http://www.coinflation.com

 

Create an eBay account by becoming a member. Then sign up with PayPal to get paid. Click the "sell an item" button and follow the directions. Helps to have a pic to post.

Best advice is to look at wheat cents for sale and study how others have listed theirs. You may want to offer several small lots or sell the whole bunch at once.

If you take those steps, come back to this forum before you actually list them and ask some of the guys about shipping. I try to keep shipments under 2 ounces because 1st class mail with tracking costs 1.58. You need to allow for materials costs as well as PayPal transaction fees. Start slow and learn from the mistakes you make.

Talking about wheat pennies! At anyone one time I have 10,000 wheat's that I am searching! I take out the semi & key date's and also take out the the 1941 and 55. When i do not have any wheatie's to search I start looking at the 41's and 55's with scanner looking for the doubled die. Haven't found one yet but one of these day's! The left over wheat's I sell to a guy for 3 cents a piece. Sorry I don't have a big enough closet to put the all in. lol
