True “copper going up” Did you know a nickel has more metal value than face value? (a nickel is 75% copper 25% nickel)
$0.066 or 6.6 cents!
And a pre 1982 penny is $0.027 almost 3 cents.
Don’t get millions but maybe have a few for when it is worth more than paper.
Yes.
Thanks.
I have many thousands of nickels already due to FReeper Travis McGee's suggestion a couple years ago.
And, a big pile of scrap copper and aluminum out back.
In fact, I've made a rough calculation that 10 pre-1982 pennies are worth about 35 cents today. A Troy ounce of copper is worth about 35 cents too.
I was in the Loop Coin Shop about a month ago and they were selling 100 pre-1982 pennies in zip lock bags for $4.25 each bag.
