What would you do if one day you where sorting and you came across a 1943 Copper Penny?
PocketChangeLottery.com say that it's worth $200,000.00 dollars. I would buy me two Rydales and start sorting more copper then ever before. I would buy more copper pennies then Hoard Copper By the Ton had in his safe. What would you do?

| I think I would keep it till 10 years from now. I would love to sell some thing like that for over 1,000,000.00 dollars. But then if I did sell it I would buy all the silver I needed for it. El Dee thats smart I would buy as much Gold, Silver for the next Greater Depression coming... |

| I would send it to a grading service. Then probably sell it. |

| i would save it, for a while and wait for it to go up in price, or what id most likely do is certify it, then sell it and buy a bunch of silver, gold, and maybe buy a rare date high grade Morgan. |

| this weeks numismatic news has an article about a copper 1943s which was sold to a collector on the west coast. he bought it for $72,500. it was found by a 14 yr old in 1944 who kept it till he died. it stayed in his family until now. what gets me is that the 14 yr old took it to a dealer that year (1944) and the dealer offered him $500. for it. the offer was refused. $500 in 1944 was alot of money. |

| I have gotten several 1943 copper cents... Sadly lincoln was not on them only a canadian king. |
Selling Ryedale sorted USA cents
1.5 each + shipping over 500fv 1.5 each +1/2 shipping
If you pick up 1.35 each
located MT/ND boarder.
after Ryedale sorting they are hand sorted to remove canadian then rechecked with Ryedale to insure all copper and count out $50 FV then placed in cloth bags and sealed with #1 copper wire. |
