I had an epiphifany the other night as I was counting and looking over my rows of Cu cents and saw them as more than a US cent...they are 1/10 troy oz Cu .950 fine rounds (little nuggets of Cu) issued by the US Mint and I thought WOW! Just another perspective.

It would be sweet to market them this way on ebay without pics... but then nobody would know what they were

Hoard now and hold on!

considering that they are minted by a name brand mint, i wonder what sort of premium over melt value they ought to command?

Buying:
Peace/Morgan G+ at $15.00
copper cents at 1.3X
wheat pennies at 3X

Or you can go to the hardware store and buy copper piping. =) And they have more uses than paperweights.

How about 1/10 oz .950 purity coined copper bullion? We're poking fun at this now, but when an ounce of copper someday brings a decent price this could be legit

Hoard now and hold on!

I like that one "1/10 oz .950 purity coined copper bullion"...but a "t" in front of oz to designate troy instead of Avoirdupois and the US qualifier would pretty much say it all.

1/10 toz .950 fine US coined copper bullion...whatcha think?

sounds good, Ziggie Now let's get a few of our members to start listing ebay lots like that and see if we can start a trend and get some recognition. Won't hurt to try, and it just might get some fence-sitters to jump in and buy some of our bullion

Hoard now and hold on!

Here is a table with the history of penny compositions:
You must be logged in to see this link.

We Rydale sorters should take notice of the years for each Lincoln alloy.
Pre-1942 Bronze alloy - use one to discriminate out the old wheaties & Indians.
44-46, brass - one to discriminate out the newer wheaties and L. Memorial cents.
46-62, bronze - use one to discriminate out the old wheaties.
62-82, brass - one to discriminate out the newer wheaties and L. Memorial cents.
46-62, bronze - use one to discriminate out the old wheaties.

This is why various years sort differently with different discriminator coins in the Rydale.
