<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Spark1951, post: 3039196, member: 90692&quot;]I agree.&nbsp; Pre-82 copper cents weigh 3.11g so lets just say 50 in a roll all weigh the same, 155.5 grams.&nbsp; Since the cents are 95% copper (Red Book, just sayin&#039;) then down to 147.725 grams.&nbsp; Todays spot copper was $3.1090.&nbsp; With 453.59 grams to the pound, this equates to each gram, today, being worth .00665579 cents.&nbsp; Multiply by the 147.725g equals roughly 98.3 cents for 50/roll.&nbsp; Dividing by 50 gives you.019664533 cents per penny(cent).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Still purty durn close to 2 cents each, but as you say, you can&#039;t melt them, you can only turn them in for face value and that&#039;s where your losing proposition takes wing and flies.&nbsp; Sorry for the exercise in futility.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I still think a red au58 from the &#039;70s is worth more than face value....Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
