<p>[QUOTE=&quot;towelie, post: 1527819, member: 40200&quot;]lol basic melting principles say if i melt it into a molten state the zinc is gonna come to the top since its lighter than copper so you skim it off then you then take the crucible and pour it into a mold. Presto 99% plus copper ingots. Then just trickle them out onto the market. Yes there will still be some zinc mixed in but at less than 1% it throws off the alloy enough that it wont come up as penny melt alloy. Just repeat the process a couple times to refine it further. You could even extrude it into wire or sheet or tube form if you were that worried about it. I see no problem getting no1 copper scrap price for melted pennies. If a home refiner can get it to 99% copper then large scale would do even better.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree 100% on the nickels, not worth it at current prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
