[QUOTE="Circus, post: 2188639, member: 51195"]Separating copper pennies from zincs when rolling? I'm a token collector not a coin collector first off. My mother was a coin collector,[:D] She never meet a state quarter she didn't have to keep, But that's another story. She has about 7 to 10, 3 pound coffee cans filled with pennies. I have been separating the Canadians out since they seem to have some value to collectors that don't get them daily in change. But after going thru a couple of cans, separating the pre-1982's ( i am not going to way them to pull the coppers out. So I have been doing rolls of 1981 and earlier mostly from the late fifties and newer so far. This is what I have been told to do, by a couple of coin collectors I know. Because they claim that you can see the pre-81 rolls for a premium. First question is it true that they can be sold for a premium above the roll value? Other than saving them for their copper/zinc melt value. Is it worth it? It is an activity during Boob tube watching, so I'm not doing this on its own. And no I don't have any interest in coin collecting![/QUOTE]
