<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2646914, member: 36230"]To give it to you straight: yes, you're wasting your time. It wouldn't at all surprise me if someone pops up here claiming differently, but the fact is that even if it became legal to melt cents, due to their alloy form, no refiner is going to pay anywhere remotely close to what is so often claimed. The prices for copper you see is for grade A, not alloys, and there's a big difference believe it or not. Please understand there are people making money off misinformation. There are websites and eBay schmoes hawking them as "investments", playing off coinflation-type sites that don't tell the whole story, and while there may be money to be made, but it's not those buying or saving them that's making it. Perhaps something will change down the road, but the likelihood of you <i>ever</i> making enough to have made this all worthwhile is slim to none.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps this gentleman - [USER=24633]@cpm9ball[/USER] - would be so kind as to share his insight on the matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
