Hoarding Pennies & Nickels?

Considering that some 1982 cents and pre-82 cents have an intrinsic value of $0.023285/each, who is hoarding them?

Considering that nickels have an intrinsic value of $0.0629551/each, who is hoarding them?

Considering no matter what the intrinsic value may be you'll still only get face no matter where you take them, I just hoard them until I have enough to roll and take to the bank in exchange for something I can fit in my wallet.

Heres a part of my hoard of coppers

 

no wonder the mints losing money...

 

Awesome! You have me beat by a few hundred pounds.

Lmao I can't wait when you turn them in for :whistle::whistle:face value at the bank.

 

I am saving any pre82 cents I find in circulation but I am not going out of my way to get them. I haven't saved any nickels.

 

and here I thought that my 2/3 full Hinckley and Schmidt bottle was over the top!

 

I save copper cents but have nothing close to what lincolnhoardr has accumulated. You should pay your taxes to the IRS with that hoard. TC

 

Hey, one of those pennies is one I lost. I want it back.

Like they said in Jaws, I think I will need a bigger coffee can.

 

OMGosh.wow {jaw dropped on floor}

 

That is simply amazing! I have nothing even close to that amount.


Also, I haven't started hoarding nickels.

 

LOL. That is awesome. LOL. I am jealous. That totally rocks, lincolnhoardr. Wow.

 

Are 1982's copper or not? Can never remember!

 

Have they all been searched for errors/varieties? Could have a few more years of fun with them!!

 

They switched over halfway through 82 the only way to tell is to weigh them out , coppers = 3.0/3.1, others = 2.4/2.5. And some where along the way someone said there is a rare 1983 cent that is copper and worth quite a bit.

After seeing the Gigantic tubs of coppers, they just put my little tupperware tubs to shame! Looks like I have some catching up to do.

 

Holy crap man! Serious hoard there. You oughta coat your roof with them.

 

We just had a long thread about this. What you put above is not correct. People are ALREADY selling copper cents for a premium on Ebay. My post in the other thread gives recent examples of sales on Ebay.

So, yes, I'm saving them when I find them because they are worth more than a cent. No, I'm not saving nickels because I don't know if they will sell for a premium ever, though it is possible.

And Lincolnhoardr: Wow..................WOW!

How many pounds do you have?

 

What a hoard indeed! I hear they have a rehab center in Springfield, IL for the Lincoln hoarders anonymous. JK! wish I had that many

 

That's just crazy...lol
