<p>[QUOTE="steve63, post: 2682346, member: 76463"]I save copper pennies but not in crazy quantities. You can sell rolls of them on Ebay for above face value. But as someone else said the problem is shipping costs. If you could find a local buyer then you could make a little money from them. I don't think going crazy saving/hoarding coppers as some CRHunders do is a profitable exercise if you are only doing it with the hope of making money someday. The time you would spend hunting and sorting won't offset the little profit you could make. As far as down the road, who knows. If the price of copper goes up over the next few decades it might become more profitable but that is big unknown. Anyway, I save the coppers only because I am already hunting for wheats just for the fun of it. If I weren't hunting for wheats I wouldn't bother saving coppers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
