<p>[QUOTE=&quot;camlov2, post: 970839, member: 26479&quot;]If you have the money and the room I would say keep these coins... my reason wouldn&#039;t be for melt though.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that many people keep wheat pennies because you can quickly see that they are old.&nbsp; I think it is a safe bet that the number of wheat pennies available won&#039;t change much over the next 20-30 years.&nbsp; Memorial pennies from the 60&#039;s/70&#039;s will likely become harder to find as they continue to wear out.&nbsp; They don&#039;t look any different from the 80&#039;s/90&#039;s/00&#039;s unless you actually check the dates.&nbsp; I think in 20 years these older memorial pennies might actually have a slightly higher value over many of the later wheat pennies.</p><p><br /></p><p>my personal example- My grandfather kept a Penny folder up until 1958?&nbsp; I picked up the next folder and with my loose change I was able to fill in all the 80&#039;s and 90&#039;s but only a handful of 70&#039;s and 60&#039;s dates.&nbsp; (lucky for me Grandpa also rolled some pennies during the early 80&#039;s and never turned them in, those 25 rolls filled nearly every gap I had)&nbsp; Without his older penny rolls I would have had a hard search to find most of these earlier memorial cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
