I had been assuming that copper pennies sold regularly on Ebay for $90 to $110 ($50 FV), but I hadn't checked carefully until last night. What I found was that about half the offers sold for $90 or less, and many got no offers at all. $50 FV seems to be the best size for a lot, but 10 lbs is almost as good (10 lbs for $29). Either way only about half the lots sold.
A penny sorted is a penny earned!

I follow that market pretty closely and I would put the number at more than half. The market has slipped considerably over the last year. Sometimes you get lucky.. many times you don't. Many from this board have braved those waters, but it is not for the timid.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
