Got this for free when I purchased a Silver Eagle from a local dealer.

 

one day i walked into a coin shop, as most collectors do. i then proceeded to look through a small chest that they called their "treasure chest" they couldn't be more precise. they sell the coins in it for 50 cents each
heres what i found in it: a 1909 s VDB penny, and, wait for it..... a 1943 COPPER PENNY!!!

 

Are you sure they're real? A dealer would probably know not to sell 2 of the most valuable pennies for 50c each...

 

heres the thing, i say that but......the 1909 cent was a mistake, they did not mean for it to be in their. ant the 1943 was a fake.... a zink penny actually.

 

So, did you pay 50c for the 09 or full price?

 

I have found a bunch of cool things in the foreign coin bins. I always fish them for English pennies (worth about 10 cents just in copper), transit tokens, older world coins and cool hunks of old copper. I have made some amazing finds. I always have to clean my hands off afterwards, but there are some great things in there, I swear. I got a 1775 English half penny with a hole in it, but a readable date the other day.

 

the 09 coin was there by mistake, the dealer told my little brother to look through it and take anything he wanted.....but only one thing. he asked about the o9 coin....and to make a long story short, they gave him a beat up out dated penny book for free and a few coins as well for free.

 

Thats why you invest in copper pennies. You are able to get them BELOW melt!

 

You can find the link to my website in my welcome back thread. I didn't want to violate rules by posting the link in this thread....

 

yet to melt them you would need to leave the country and smuggle them back into the country. then that would work.

 

Just for the heck(because I cant say the real H word) of it I picked up a roll of 20 of the 2012 St Gaudens 1oz copper rounds from Provident...they actually look really presentable in the copper color...won't be making my money back any time soon if ever...more of a novelty....I actuallt really want to get a roll of the "Don't Tread on Me" "Live Free or Die" copper rounds. If they had them in silver I would definitely get them instead of copper.

 

You don't need to melt them...you can do what any coin shop does and take them in for "melt" value without the actual melting part...though I dont know any coin shop in my area that is actually buying copper pennies. However there does seem to be a big market on ebay and some online dealers selling in bulk.

 

Google his username???

 

here is the rounds...not bad looking...

 

i love the looks of 1 ounce copper rounds, just bought 60 of them tonight

 

Why not play copper by stacking up a barrel of scrap? Pile scrap up at a couple bucks a lb then sit on it. If you know where to look you might find a bunch for free.
