<p>[QUOTE="Coinlover, post: 263020, member: 6032"]i was gathering up all the loose coins around my room, and trust me, thats alot of coins!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> anyway, i was gathering up all the copper cents and putting them into a coffee mug and was thinking. i have $12 in copper cents, when i could roll these up and take them to the bank and get $12 to spend on a couple nice franklins that could go up triple of what i paid for them. so i started to roll up my copper cents. of coarse i'm saving all my wheat cents, 1959 and 1960 dates becuase they aren the first couple years of issue of the memorial and i think they will go for a premuim. i'm also saving the S mintmarks becuase the san francisco memorial cents are getting harder and harder to find now that everyones saving them. i'm also saving the low mintage 1961, 1962, 1963, and 1969 cents. and any AU or BU copper coins i find. other than that, they go to the bank this weekend. i doubt that copper cents will go up really in value. its kindof pointless to save them if you can't melt them and get the copper out of them right? and whose going to buy copper cents? i'd rather spend them and get me some nice silver coins that i know will go up in value over the years. just 2 years ago i bought about a dozen silver quarters for $1.25 each. now i can easily sell them for $2.25 or $2.50 each to a collector. if your saving copper cents right now, its time to consider.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
