should i?

i keep every copper cent i find, but i have a quite of a hoard and was wondering about it. will it be worth to keep these? i save any cent 1968 and before, but i am starting to roll up the 1969-1982 ones. i keep all the S mintmarks also. i am thinking about turning the 1969-1982 cents into the bank. do you think i should do it?

If you've already gone through the trouble of keeping them I wouldn't turn them in. How much money is it tying up though?

 

Maybe you can sell them on EBay as "rolls of partially searched" cents.

You could say that you haven't searched them for anything except year and mintmark.

 

Wind the clock back to May 1960. You post the following: "I'm saving all my lincolns before 1940. Do you think I should keep all the wheatbacks 1959 and before since they've just changed the design?"

I think the the answer to that question and end-result will be the same.

I can see E-bay in 2050 where you will be able to buy lots of "unsearched old-style cents from the 20th century". Oh, and they'll all be coming from the sales of OUR estates

 

its only tying up less than $10, but i don't know if they are worth keeping?

 

Wait untill 2009, that will be a big year for them.

 

before you 'recycle them' get yourself a copy of the cherrypickers' guide and give them a real exam before letting them go........imho
