<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2142107, member: 36230"]This isn't to say that everyone agrees, but they're a waste of money, and those who buy them do so without understanding that just because cents contain an amount of copper presently more valuable than the coin's face, this does not mean it's worth the sum of its parts, and is because of the alloy. To put it simply, cents are not grade A (what quoted copper prices are for) so they're not "worth" grade A prices in their present composition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if there's someone willing to pay you an above-face premium, I see nothing wrong nor questionable about taking it, but just as was the case with the wheat cents you were selling, and has already been said, shipping costs must be considered. Perhaps, if you can get your father to accompany you, offering locally would be your best bet, or at least an option before turning them into the bank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
