<p>[QUOTE=&quot;littlehugger, post: 2102222, member: 58633&quot;]Metals increase in value slowly over time. When I was a kid, common change was 90% silver. Nowadays, the government makes cents out of pot metal and they cost more than a cent.</p><p>&nbsp;Back then, you could get Morgan and Peace dollars at the bank, for a dollar.</p><p>&nbsp;I have no problem with saving nickels, at 20 for a dollar. Ever priced common date V-nickels? Or Buffalo?</p><p>Its the same with cents. A few years ago, I bought a $50 bag of wheats for $75, free shipping. Check that bag now. What&#039;s it cost you for a copper penny? Gosh, a whole cent!</p><p>&nbsp;I have a bucket of nickels, and I save copper cents also, along with shiny zinc ones. The high grade common coins of yesteryear in my type set cost a wad.</p><p>&nbsp;I will probably never realize a profit, but my kids, or grandkids will, and it only costs me pocket change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
