<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1152516, member: 13650"]If people want copper, you can buy pure .999 1 oz copper rounds on ebay that have proof finishes and are very attractive for 1.85 or less, shipped. Most rolls come with a good hard plastic, square tube worth a buck or two. Then you at least know what you've got in an easier to handle form that is already pure. </p><p><br /></p><p> With billions of cents out there, I don't think it's worth saving bucket fulls of them. Just too many and too many people already doing it. Comparing them to silver is just not the same. There were only a few hundred million silver quarters total, ever, in circulation. I think there were some years they made over a billion cents in one year. Copper would have to get obscenely expensive before I'd give them a passing glance. </p><p><br /></p><p> I keep a box of a couple hundred wheat cents. That's about all I need other than a few good ones in my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
