<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2153160, member: 71338"]As we can see, it's not profitable if people were allowed to refine and sell the copper. At least not yet with the price of copper. Right now the only thing profitable would be to sell in bulk over face value, which some do on ebay or elsewhere. For all the work involved, it's not worth it to me. For example, selling 100 face of copper cents for 120 or 130 if I'm lucky after all fees involved isn't worth my time. I do think it's a good idea to have a small hoard, since it has intrinsic value and isn't merely token coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
