<p>[QUOTE="FmrFiatFollower, post: 1385144, member: 35871"]I totally agree with cvicisso. I think copper pennies are a wise investment for someone wanting copper. I made the mistake of buying overpriced copper bars from the metal mint when they were still in business and am just now seeing a return on my original investment...much later. Had I taken the funds and put them into copper cents I would have made more money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many people are buying copper cents at .02/ea. Ebay and craigslist are riddled with people selling them, and they actually sell. I also just watched an interview with a 20 something kid who opened up small business sorting copper cents. He sells them in extremely high quantities and stores millions of dollars worth in his factory for private investors. They are so easily recognizable, there is no reason to melt pennies down. If anything, melting them down without any marking/stamps/etc. would detract from their value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
