Common coins that you collect

I keep most pre-1960 Jefferson nickels under ~40 million mintage and Unc ones.

I keep copper memorial cents, as well.

I was keeping them, hoarding them. But I have three 36 gallon tubs full of them and I figured I didn't want them encroaching on my other hobby's space in the cave. So earlier this year I stopped saving them and on the occasions when I do cent searches I only keep wheats, S mints, and interesting stuff.

I don't search cents, but I'll keep coppers that come to me in change.

 

Falls to common double denomination...as MS 66 did not get a special name due of lack of original more visible of major dramatic details such as two Full dates, etc. Thanks for seeing it!

 

OK, 3 X 36 is approximately 100 gal which if packed at 60% of the volume would be 60 gallons or 227.124 L or 227,124 mL which at 8.96 g/mL would be 4482 pounds of copper at $3.20 per pound would be around $14,000 not too shabby. Raises a point, copper is $3.20 per pound. Is that an Av pound or a Troy pound? I'll check.
