Message:: [QUOTE="buyingsilvers, post: 600213, member: 18821"]Both were impaired somewhat. One has scratches on the face, the other has a fat fingerprint on the reverse. Interesting find, but probably not worth much at all.   I keep all the coppers. The metal content is worth more than the face values, and there are people willing to buy them separated out, notably on ebay. But its a small market because the price of copper is too low to draw most sellers & buyers and because the melt prohibition is still in effect. Right now, they might sell for something like 1.5 - 1.8x face on ebay.   I sort by machine.  Usually I sort $300/week and usually dont look through the zincs for errors at all.  That might mean $60/week that I'm actually looking at.  Some people dont even bother looking at the machine sorts, and just store them away.  But I usually do to pull out the interesting items & look for errors.[/QUOTE]
