[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 4054657, member: 78298"]Forget about the value of the copper in copper pennies. When you are allowed to melt them, you need copper to be $6 a pound just to break even. Copper has never been higher than $4.63 ever, and it is currently $2.55. It won't hit $6 anytime soon. As for transitional errors, in 1982 Denver only made small dates in zinc, and yet 2 copper small date 1982-D cents have been discovered. There are also later dates that are supposed to be zinc and they are copper. 1983 (1989?) and some others. Your odds are better to hit the lottery, but that's the scoop.[/QUOTE]
