No one is perfect. A babe before walking will first stumble and fall many times but NEVER gives up until he succeeds. Always remember, ultimately, to never follow any person's belief. Your relationship with God is between you and God. If nothing else, remember this: religion = subservience, control and conformity, the same template as EVERY government "Most believers would kill truth if truth threatened their religion." L. K. Washburn "This crime called blasphemy was invented by priests for the purpose of defending doctrines not able to take care of themselves." Robert Ingersoll "If anyone wants to know how God feels, it's a warm light as if the sun is poking through dark clouds and lifting your spirits with pure joy." |

If you are going to do that.....use a Police Internet Zone for the transaction. It's a REALLY great idea to cover your ass. Area police departments provide places to buy, sell items in Internet transactions [link to www.dallasnews.com] |

Otherwise maybe spend them or take them to a bank. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68474273 ^^^^^this^^^^^^^ It is illegal to melt coinage for scrap, only the gov can do that. I wouldn't have much use for that anyway. I was thinking to exchange em outright though hate to put the time spent collecting em for nothing in effect. but I may think about it. No one is perfect.

With that said, it is ILLEGAL to melt down your copper pennies to make more on the copper market with them. Just saying.... We have extreme lows right now and they are not worth crap. I also don't see things getting better. If you ave to ask publicly what to do with them. Then use them as your 1 cent coin.

I wouldn't be melting them or anything just selling them as they are for hopefully more than face value. I know we're at extreme lows though now from when I last checked, glad someone clued me in on that, didn't realize how far it fell. I may just search through what I got at some point as others have suggested and see what I could find of value in individual pennies, may get more from that than from all of em...(and could miss a big pay for one if I sold em all conversely as well), and then exchange the rest as they are but guess we'll see. Least I got that extra cash to play with in any case at least, so there's that side in the short term I suppose. No one is perfect.

User ID: 53622020 United States 01/29/2016 11:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Copper pennies, 1982 and before, go about 100 per lb. There was a time about a year ago it was over 3 dollars a lb, which would have put them 3 to 1. Now, it is back down to just over a dollar a lb. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71326989 I suggest hold on to them and keep collecting. Just imagine if someone did that with the silver back in 1964. The gain would have been a nice increase for retirement. I had one of those quarters in some change for a coffee a few months ago. You could recognize it immediately by the clinking sound against another quarter because of the silver. Sorry, that message is no longer in the database. |

Least I got that extra cash to play with in any case at least, so there's that side in the short term I suppose. Your wwheat pennies of course are worth more than a 1 cent piece. So yes, take a look through. If you are like me and never spend your change, instead store it. Look through the others, maybe you have a 3 leg buffalo misprint and will get around 1300.00 for it. Not sure of the price the last few years, but still up there. “I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle.
