<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1505889, member: 12789&quot;]Mining copper out of cents is a far better investment than practically any other area of numismatics right now.&nbsp; You really cannot lose on this gain, a cent will always be worth a cent - but those pre-1982&#039;s will never be worth less than a cent and most likely more.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #ff0000">BTW the mint has specifically prohibited the melting of nickels and cents for their metal. </span></b> You can be prosecuted with prison time and a stiff penalty.&nbsp; Nothing stops you from hoarding them, re-selling them etc.&nbsp; Lot like the silver coins back in the 1960&#039;s - they could not be melted for silver into the 1970&#039;s when the ban was lifted.&nbsp; By then all silver was out of circulation and bagged up and being hoarded.&nbsp; Nickels right now are worth at or about 5 cents each, but really not enough of a return to make hoarding them worthwhile.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
