[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3530599, member: 90692"]Copper Lincolns do not contain 2 cents worth of copper, for 2 reasons: 1. It is not Grade A copper. This is what the price of copper is based on. 2. It costs more to extact the copper than the copper is worth. Even if it were legal to melt cents for their copper, the price of copper would have to be above $5 per pound, and that won't happen anytime soon. I, too, had many copper cents I was keeping until I got educated from the people who know here at CoinTalk. I keep only those AU58 or better, and those are getting very hard to find now, even CRH.
