Message:: [QUOTE="desertgem, post: 895357, member: 15199"][FONT=Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Arial,  Helvetica][FONT=Arial, Helvetica]$0.0194123[/FONT]  is the melt value for the 1909-1982 copper cent on May 19, 2010.[/FONT][/FONT]TO derive the profit, you must add in the intangibles. I assume from your statement, you must live within a few miles of the border or gas money would eat up any profits. Last night it took 30 minutes nominal to get into Mexico, and 2 hrs to get out, so there is 2 1/2 hrs of your time to charge off. If there were even just 2 people going across, 10,000 cents weigh about 70 lbs, so the Mexico border patrol/military finds 140 lbs of cents in your car. You claim you have the right to bring into Mexico for refining. If you are Mexican citizenship, you probably will make it through, otherwise you will probably have a heck of a good time talking to them and a lot of fun. They have a right to collect duty if you have no Mexico import license. I really don't think you can make a profit if you consider all.[/QUOTE]
