Message:: [QUOTE="Lugia, post: 1037580, member: 21025"]WARNING this is sort of rantish. i didnt want to take the other persons thread way offline so ill just say what i got here. i had no idea the ban on melting was that long ago. the ban sounds bogus altogether. even if the ban isnt lifted ppl will save the coppers. i also read other newer articles about there being so many that melting them would make sense. i almost want to delete this thread because it sounds so dumb to me. these are 28+ year old cents - not going to the amero. the ppl who run the mint really have no idea what theyre doing. i also want to add that i really dont see myself doing it. ive gotten a couple rolls and did some searching before the copper/zinc sorting but its too much. let someone with the time and their machines sort all that junk, wrap them up and sell them to someone for the copper content. they sold at the auctions a few months ago rolls of BU 78/79 cents (14 to a box) for about 9$ after fees. i wasnt turning to my dad and saying "GEE those would be worth 20 dollars in copper!". i forget what person in the other thread said you could probably win fighting the ban it in the courts - well someone should and get the NONSENSE over with. ive got to run but id like to hear what ppl have to say on the subject.[/QUOTE]
