<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2584074, member: 1765&quot;]Use the 10% rule that is advised when saving treasures the little ones make or bring home from school.&nbsp; Of your junk coins, pull out 10% and make the rest go away.&nbsp; Do it again in 5 years if the kids show no interest.&nbsp; If they later become interested, post a WTB for a small flat rate full of mixed wheat cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>12 pounds of wheat cents will fit into a Regional A box or medium flat rate.&nbsp; If someone will pay 2c each, shipped, you might come out ahead.&nbsp; If there&#039;s a B&amp;M or show nearby where you can get that, go for it.&nbsp; The thing is, you&#039;ll come out only a few bucks ahead for all your trouble and they&#039;d sit in a bag in the corner of someone else&#039;s closet.&nbsp; Now imagine what would happen if you were to take them to the bank.&nbsp; They&#039;ll get counted, rolled, and enter circulation, where a bunch of cashiers and customers will have the opportunity to notice that all those pennies are 60, 70, maybe 80 years old.&nbsp; Some will simply pass them along, but perhaps a couple keep them, give them to kids who will say &quot;cool,&quot; and eventually end up at a coin show looking for more information and more coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Seems worth the $10 downside of not selling them into someone else&#039;s junk pile.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
