Yes the verdigris is a problem and eats into the value and the metal.
I am going to go out on a limb and say reprocessed. Photos please.
I think people routinely used coins in day to day market transactions. Perhaps the bed sheet sized money was a way to store wealth, status symbol...
Doesn't look like a small date. The tails on the 6 and 9 seem to be too extended. On the small date they are quite stubby. Furry Frogs small date...
Good for him. Free enterprise. Capitalism works. As for the people who are hoarding copper to sell in the future, currently you're not allowed to...

Looks like a dryer coin.
I don't think there is such a thing.
Yes. The 4 has been altered to look like a 1, but it is too far to the right. The VDB on the bottom of the shoulder has been removed. See how that...
Yes. Does not appear genuine. Look at the shoulder, the VDB area is missing. The line of the 1 is too far to the right. Look at the spacing on the...
Surface on the 1960 seems unnatural.
Not advised to list your e mail here. 1982 small date Philly in copper or zinc does have a premium in mint state grades. But you are looking at 50...
