[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3022031, member: 36230"]No, at least unless you're willing to try to sell them to suckers. Please don't allow yourself to be influenced by coinflation-type sites that place a misleading "value" upon the copper contained in such cents. The problem is that the copper value quoted is for [I]grade A[/I] and not in the form of an [I]alloy[/I], and means due to said form they're worth significantly less even if it was legal to melt them. Now, the exact value or percentage of grade A is somewhat open to debate. Some folks here will quote prices significantly higher than others, and means of this is of interest you'd be wise to contact the folks nearest to you who would be the buyers of such material, again if this was legal. As for the red book, and with the understanding that this is heresy to some folks here, if you only wish to know the keys and/or dates/mints with greater value potential, simply use any online price "guide" to identify which may fall under said categories. Considering the fact you're only date searching at this point, as long as you've a basic understanding of grades/conditions, doing so should help make separating the wheat from the chaff rather quick and painless.[/QUOTE]
