[QUOTE="coppertop5150, post: 1148813, member: 28147"]many people are selling them on ebay AT 1.5 - 2X FACE. I HAD A HARD TIME BELIEVING IT ALSO... do a completed auction search. A guy named maineman over at Coincommunity told me about it. He sells $100 face of copper cents and gets between $175-$200 final closing bid he jams hen into a 14.95 large flat rate box. Lots of people live near the mexican and canadian border... makes me wonder if the are selling them to "collectors" across the boarder.... In mexico and canada the laws to melt u.s coins dont apply, someone posted online that in texas customs never checks your car going into mexico only when you leave. Would not surprise me if someone could drive $400-$500 worth of copper cents across the boarder and come back with $ 800 -$1000 in cash, i think its illegal; to export more then 5$ worth of usa coinage with out some declaration of customs form but prob would not stop someone[/QUOTE]
