<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1835429, member: 44079&quot;]Copper is about 3 cents per copper penny.&nbsp; A true problem for those of us who collected copper and nickel coins since the 1960s (50s in the case of my former wife) is that in 2005 the US Congress (without much warning) suddenly passed a law prohibiting the melting down of our copper and nickel coins.&nbsp; Suddenly 140 something pounds of Jefferson nickels in my basement plummeted in value. Likewise the half ton of copper pennies.&nbsp; However, nothing prohibited Ebay sales of the coins that can&#039;t be melted inside the US.&nbsp; Likewise, while the post 1958, pre-1982, pennies may only be worth 3 cents as copper, many of the older wheat pennies are worth much more to collectors.&nbsp; In bulk you should be getting 0.11 per penny for the Wheats and worn out IHCs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
