<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 555436, member: 68&quot;]Collectible cent values would climb for a couple years before becoming &quot;stale&quot; and drifting lower indefinitely.&nbsp; The climb could be pretty spectacular especially for the memorials which have never been widely collected.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>At the same time cents from circulation would disappear and it would help the other denominations especially nickels and states coins probably.&nbsp; This would be a &quot;grass roots&quot; demand that wouldn&#039;t show up in prices for many years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The government would recall the cents but very few would be redeemed.&nbsp; They&#039;d probably retrieve fewer than 20 billion of the nearly 500 billion minted and about 85% would be zinc.&nbsp; Most of the 500 billion are already destroyed but about 150 would survive with about half copper and half zinc.&nbsp; Many of the coppers would be wheaties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
