<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mynamespat, post: 2667380, member: 83738&quot;]That is completely beside the point.&nbsp; What you stated is false.&nbsp; I honestly thought you had just mixed up your wording...&nbsp;&nbsp; The melt value of a copper penny is almost double the face value.&nbsp; Besides the logistic issues, the problem is that it is currently against the law to melt cents for metal value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to draw your attention to N.F. String and Sons ebay portal where they currently have copper pennies being offered by the truck-load for people who are willing to hedge their bets that the melt ban will be lifted:</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Truckload-of-20-Tons-of-Copper-Pennies-Bulk-Bullion-Lot-FREE-SHIPPING-/361492376954?hash=item542a9fed7a:g:eLAAAOSw~otWdBBe" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Truckload-of-20-Tons-of-Copper-Pennies-Bulk-Bullion-Lot-FREE-SHIPPING-/361492376954?hash=item542a9fed7a:g:eLAAAOSw~otWdBBe" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Truckload-of-20-Tons-of-Copper-Pennies-Bulk-Bullion-Lot-FREE-SHIPPING-/361492376954?hash=item542a9fed7a:g:eLAAAOSw~otWdBBe</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I&#039;m not going to spend money on copper pennies because I believe the actual amount paid out if the melt ban is lifted will be much closer to face because of the problems with sorting and refining.&nbsp; I do pull them out of my change and toss them in a jar.&nbsp; It also makes it easier to pick out any that haven&#039;t seen much circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
