<p>[QUOTE="TOLS196024, post: 207152, member: 3884"]I was wondering about this myself several months ago (before the melting ban). Any object is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, so I decided to call some local scrap yards. I did find one which would take pre 82 cents as Type II Copper at $2.25 per pound. At that rate, I would only make about $.75 per pound and decided it was not worth my time. I am still saving the copper cents from change, but am not actively searching them out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
