http://www.bnamericas.com/news/metals/copper-continues-downtrend-closes-at-us3063-lb Bad new for everyone who invested in junk copper coins... Is a recovery possible in the short term?
didn't invest in them, but do save them (have for years and years). I'm still up nearly double the intrinsic value of the coin vs. the face value. still collect them when I find them, but they are certainly getting fewer and further between in the change I get. it may be illegal (US federal law) for me to melt them down for metal value, but if I sell them to a 'recylcer' for metal value, I don't much care what they might do with them.
