<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ratpack7, post: 1107994, member: 28375&quot;]I was doing a little research and I don&#039;t see how hording 1944-1982 penny&#039;s makes any sense at all. Considering that 1944-1982 penny&#039;s are 95% copper and 5% zinc which makes them BRASS not copper. Current price for brass is $2 lb. since 1lb of penny&#039;s is 200 penny&#039;s ($2 face) what is the point??? Also $2lb is the price for clean bright yellow brass which is market value. When you start looking at scape prices for brass you are losing money hording these penny&#039;s.&nbsp; Scape prices are <a href="http://www.earthworksrecycling.com/prices/index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.earthworksrecycling.com/prices/index.html" rel="nofollow">$1.50 lb for yellow brass and less then .73 lb for contaminated brass.</a> So unless you are scraping MS grade penny&#039;s ( which would sell for a premium over face) you would get .73 cents for $2 face value. Not a good investment in the least.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
