<p>[QUOTE="Coinlover, post: 285504, member: 6032"]i used to save them, had about $9 worth. then i figured i get ALOT still in circulation. even if they are worth more than face, it is still illegal to melt them down. so why save them if you cant melt them and get their value out of them? if your going to save copper why not melt down copper pots and pans and other copper made stuff. i don't think it is going to be profitable saving these copper cents. after i cashed in my $9 in copper cents, that weekend i bought about 9 mercury dimes. i'd rather have 9 silver mercury dimes instead of those old copper cents. i save the 1959, 1959D, 1960, 1960D, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1965 and 1969 cents. i also save the S mintmarked cents also, and i try to keep every BU, AU copper cent i get. i cash in the rest. i just don't think there is any big profit involved in this with refining cost if they do lift the ban. and all that space they take up! :goofer:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
