<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justafarmer, post: 648361, member: 3926&quot;]I am in the scrap metal business and we have never had one cent pieces come in with scrap copper. I wouldn&#039;t buy it anyway - to much time involved culling out post 1982 cents before weighing the coins purchased. Plus recyclers pay well below board price for scrap copper anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Addressing the issue of refining US nickels and cents- those that were responsible for the majority of melting didn&#039;t bother with refinning. US coinage is manufactured at such strict tolerance they were being dumped, as is, straight into the melt pot in the production of alloys. Pure ingots of other metals were added as needed to adjust the mix.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
