<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Razz, post: 3692265, member: 100526&quot;]95% copper times 3.11 grams per cent (average) is 2.95 gr copper per cent (pre zinc). So 31.101 gr per oz would be 10.54 cents per oz; 12 oz per pound would be 126 cents per pound or $1.26. So if the price of copper is more than $1.26 per pound you could make money but there is always the cost of smelting to consider.</p><p><br /></p><p>A quick Google search says copper is at $2.53. However the same Google search also came up with recycled scrap copper being bought at $1.30 per pound. Either way selling pennies for scrap is still illegal; but technically there is about 2 cents of copper in each pre 1983 cent when the price of copper is $2.53 per pound. My math my be off and if so please correct it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
