Right on!!!!!:2thumb::2thumb:I have invested in a lot of copper, but it's wrapped around a lead core.![]()
These amounts were for "Lincoln" pennies made between 1909 - 1982. I believe the copper content was higher then.I like copper, it is used in the mfg. of bronze. I sell bronze for a living and have done quite well at it. I am a commissioned salesman so I make more money for less or the same ammount of work when the price is up. I do question the ammount of copper in a penny,:scratch several years ago they began adding zinc to the alloy in an effort to drive the cost down.
There are tips for Sunday,Monday,Tuesday some for every day of the week. One must dress properly to do a job well. :2thumb:No teflon tip?
Yea, I bought my 1909 S VDB penny in 1977 for $300.00 and sold it in 2003 for $1,700.00. There was alot more copper in pennies back then. I'd still have that penny today if I didn't get a wife in 2002.These amounts were for "Lincoln" pennies made between 1909 - 1982. I believe the copper content was higher then.
Uncle Joe, you can get one for alot less than that at a coin show, but in my youth I was a good adult child of an alcohalic and mine had to be perfect. I mowed lawns, did odd jobs and delivered newspapers all summer to get that penny.No kidding!?
I have one of those penny "books" that run from 1909-1958. It's completely filled except for the 1909 S VDB. Guess I know why now.![]()

Yes, copper will probably increase in value. But 1 million pennies? :scratch
You bought a wife for a penny! Wow...What a deal! :2thumb: I got married 30 years ago and I'm still paying!Yea, I bought my 1909 S VDB penny in 1977 for $300.00 and sold it in 2003 for $1,700.00.

So is aluminum. Came home to my apartment building and saw two techs working in the cell phone equipment building attached to the main building (we have 3 cell systems operating off of the roof...no problem with signal strength here! :2thumb: ) Seems that some low-lifes stole all the aluminum ground wire attached to the structure. Couldn't have been more than 15-20 pounds worth, but a major pain to replace! :gaah:Here copper is always a target for thieves, I think I'll pass
