<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1879260, member: 24633&quot;]Since all pre-82 copper cents are composed of a mix of copper and zinc, you should not assume that the current price for Grade A copper applies. If it were legal to melt them (which it is not) refiners would only pay about 25% of the Grade A price because it costs them money to reduce the coins to pure copper. Since there are about 182 Lincoln cents to the pound, if Grade A copper is selling for, say, $3.60/lb. you would be getting about 90c for them. Yes, this is a great deal! Isn&#039;t it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
