[QUOTE="mitchell, post: 9541, member: 989"]I remember the penny crunch of 1980 when the copper value of a penny was worth more than the penny itself. Banks were paying $1+ for a roll of pennies to get some in circulation. My question is; would it be worth while to save circulated pre 1980 copper pennies in better grades? I have several rolls stashed back where I did this over the years when rolling up my loose change to take to the bank. I was thinking that if these era coins were supposedly melted for the metal content, that may make them a little more scarce, and thus worth a little more. What you do you folks think? Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
