[QUOTE="rte, post: 18914336, member: 78199"]That's the price for PURE clean copper and good luck getting close to that from a metals recycling center. Considering that the memorial cents are 95% copper and 5% tin... 95% of total weight isn't a bargain? As of now your still not allowed to melt cents to recycle the metals. I know a guy that took 1000 copper cents and sculpted an eagle for his metal detecting shop. Someone really liked it and traded him paper money for it.[/QUOTE]
