<p>[QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2623639, member: 60292"]Every time I see you post this I will retort. Reclamation centers will not offer you more than face for copper cents because they are currently illegal to melt. Yes I understand that the copper cent is "not grade A copper" (as I know you're going to say lol), but the price of copper is low and let me repeat... CENTS ARE CURRENTLY ILLEGAL TO MELT!</p><p><br /></p><p>Should the price of copper get to $5 per pound, as it has gotten near to in the past, you are talking about roughly 3x melt value vs face value. Even if reclamation centers want to knock off half (very high btw) for smelting/refining, you still have a value of 50% above face!</p><p><br /></p><p>With all that said... If you are over the age of 50 there are probably better things to hoard. But stop saying hoarding is useless for everyone. Not true![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
