<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buyingsilvers, post: 596743, member: 18821&quot;]Brand new is $500 - $600.&nbsp; I currently use a different model ryedale that I picked up for 200 something.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The people that sort with machine sorters are a different &quot;breed&quot;.&nbsp; Melting pennies is prohibited, but there is still a market for them undert the premise that the ban will eventually be lifted, and the pennies do have value greater than face.&nbsp; Even at the low $2/lb copper price, they&#039;re still being sold on ebay &amp; online dealers for greater than face.&nbsp; When copper prices were higher, they also sold for much more.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So people focus on volume rather than inspecting every copper &amp; zinc that comes their way.&nbsp; I can take $1000 of pennies, shred it through the machine to eliminate $800 of zinc.&nbsp; Then I look at the $200 remaining to find 1969 - 1972 DDO errors, wheats, and indians.&nbsp; The rest can be stored away or sold off for 1.4 - 1.8x face value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are people, both individuals &amp; commercially that have pulled TONS of copper pennies from circulation for the reasons mentioned above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
