HOARD EVERY COPPER PENNY

Copper pennies are worth more than face value, everyone should hoard every copper pansy that they find.

[@kalelrobinson7027]

I've been collecting for two years I have a big huge 2 foot jar of 1980 and below dated pennies .

[@RyanSharpie]

It’s a great way to not only save money but also stack copper

[@johntracy72]

Roll them up and you'll know exactly how many you have. Each bank box of copper pennies ($25.00 face value) has a net weight of almost exactly 17 pounds.

[@RyanSharpie]

john tracy I had them rolled up previously but it started to get outta hand with how much rolls I was having to buy cause my bank doesn’t provide them.

[@bobmears3732]

My weight SORTER only keeps 3.18 grams and up. How much would a box weigh? Please.

[@moisesmontecillo7570]

Hey brother I actually just started hoarding pennies its videos like these that got inspired to start and hopefully I'm planning on starting a vintage coin collection as well. Thanks for the video 👍 left a like as well

[@veritasfiles]

I keep copper pennies that pass through my hands and have been for probably 25 years. I probably have about 35 to 40 pounds of copper pennies, which is only enough to fill up a few large pickle jars. That won't bring me a lot of money, but it's better than nothing. My actual money goes into Junk Silver and small increments of Gold. The bottom line is that when I need money, I'll actually have some, whether it be copper, silver, or gold.

[@RyanSharpie]

Good thinking, that’s what I’m going for

[@alan30189]

"....every copper 'pansy' that they find?" LOL Never melt them down. That would be stupid. Why go to that expense? You know EXACTLY what you have there when they are in coin form. Sell them like that and buy silver coins, or platinum.

[@kylerpellerin6997]

It costs more to make a penny than it's worth.

[@RyanSharpie]

I don’t get it, but the government likes to waste money so we should be use to it

[@wesleyhempoli5548]

It costs more than face value is what you mean....pennies are "worth" more than their face value, even the new 95% zinc ones.

[@Dan-vz7xu]

That's why most countries don't use the equivalent of a one cent denomination. The U.S does for some reason

[@jamiejafolla9251]

@@Dan-vz7xu Retail: $19.99 looks less than $20.00 $9.99 looks less than $10.00 etc.

[@intjonmiller]

Have you seen Tom Lipton's video on making a set of precision lapping plates using pennies as the wear surface?

[@RyanSharpie]

Jon Miller just watched it, very cool video

[@HotDoggin75]

As a graduate of Numismatics, your not hurting the collector community. The collectors are killing it themselves. They low ball you to about 25% of the coins value, then wait you out till you have no choice but to sell. This is why I now work in bullion

[@RyanSharpie]

Chris Rhodes yeah I get it, I looked at coin collecting and various other types of bullion and bars and there’s no true market really anymore. People are selling bars and rounds and spots way higher than silver price along with any other type of metals. While highly collectible coins are going for dollars and not being sold. I don’t get it

[@martinisgreatadventure720]

Copper is up now is 3 to 4 cents now. You can sell them on eBay for 2.5 cents each.

[@ronaldoseradilla3570]

I do the same we keep it up body!!!

[@georgetindall6125]

anyone ever consider the cost to seperate the metals in a penny they are not 100 percent copper.so you wont get as much as you think you will.look at it like this if you sell 100 pounds of pennies the person has to pay to have it seperated and pay the labor cost for what they are going to do with it.this is why most people get 100 percent bullion.

[@ronaldoseradilla3570]

Q.what about weight in under 3.1g. is that a copper penny?

[@RyanSharpie]

Most likely a zinc penny, halfway through 1982 and after are all zinc pennies

[@steelisthemeal]

Ronaldo Seradilla zinc pennies weigh about 2.7 g Full copper pennies weigh about 3.5 g

[@veritasfiles]

I'm not sure that they'll get melted down, at least not immediately or quickly. I think they'll be worth more in their money form and sold for 2, 3, 4, or even 5 cents a piece. I think I have at least that many American Copper cents, not counting my Wheat cents, and I have about a half box of Canadian Copper pennies as well. I hope people listen to your advice.

[@Dan-vz7xu]

I also figured it's good to look for them now. Less and less people are using cash

[@JOHNRMECH]

I hear people talking about melting them down, once legal, to get multiple times their investment from the copper. Good option to have, but what if the US dollar collapses, and 5,000 copper cents (I do not call them pennies) go to face value against an ounce of gold, face value of $50.00?

[@mauriliozamora6627]

I enjoy collecting copper pennies, I have about 86lbs.

[@justinrittwage1313]

You should pull out the blank planchet that is worth money

[@happynomadic1581]

Me and my father have been doing this for over 20 years my dad just filled a 55 gallon drum and buried it in the backyard

[@sheldonamaral6498]

What year would pennies stop being copper?

[@RyanSharpie]

Sheldon Amaral after 1981 they stopped making copper pennies, and some 1982 pennies are copper and some aren’t

[@OBRay-bo5gm]

about 3/4 of the 1982 are copper

[@steelisthemeal]

Ryan Sharpie as far as I can tell it was half way into the year 1982 when the full switchover occurred Still plenty of copper penny out there

[@wesleyhempoli5548]

@@OBRay-bo5gm actually its half and half, not 3/4

[@superneo123]

I save all mine, i need to weigh them out at some point

[@RyanSharpie]

+superneo123 last I weighed I was at 20 pounds.

[@18KGCHAMP]

Wcs you have some of usd saved up very slowly

[@paulkoester4354]

Canada's pennys are worth more

[@wesleyhempoli5548]

Pennies*

[@Dan-vz7xu]

The British copper even more

[@billydow1971]

Tell me another legal investment where you can double or more your money immediately.

[@ScrapPalletMan]

wow... double the money.

[@RyanSharpie]

Scrap & Pallet Man I ended up selling this lot for over 80$. I rolled them up and delivered them locally and ended up with a 43 dollar profit. Pretty mind blowing

[@OBRay-bo5gm]

where do you sell them?

[@RyanSharpie]

Locally, and actually the guy I sold it too use to ask for more

[@bdmaki]

When the government stops making pennies the price of copper will crash and you will just have a bunch of pennies worth 1 cent

[@bdmaki]

Each penny contains 2.5% copper and when the Government makes 9 Billion pennies that ads up to a lot of copper (100's of Tons of copper).@chad michael harding

[@RyanSharpie]

They were previously made of 98% copper. Nothing changed when they switched over. Zinc prices didn’t even rise. Copper is more prevalent in construction electronics then in currency

[@bdmaki]

Just do the math...9 billion pennies made each year with each penny containing 2.5% copper. The price of copper will go down.@@RyanSharpie

[@RyanSharpie]

bdmaki don’t get me wrong your numbers add up and I understand where your coming from but any research to other countries such as India’s cent or Canada’s penny that switched to steel pennies saw no increase or decrease to copper. Copper is used so much in construction materials that a significant crash in copper will disrupt everything.. I don’t see it happening

[@bdmaki]

We will just have to wait and see what happens...Another aspect is the more copper pennies taken out of circulation is the Government has to replace those pennies, thus pushing the federal deficit higher and higher..In other words we are borrowing money from other countries to replace the pennies that people are taking out of circulation !@@RyanSharpie

[@johntracy72]

You should have rolled them up as you accumulated them then you would know how many you have. That's what I'm doing.

[@RyanSharpie]

Yeah good point. I sell my copper by the pound and my buyer usual buys by the bag. If I turned them into the bank I would roll them but the copper pennies I sell

I just sorted through all my pennies that I've found on the ground in the last 6 months and separated them. I found quite a lot! kzbin.info/www/bejne/np3diWNpgpx_ppo

I never stated that I was melting them....

[@johng187]

I heard soon the penny will be done away with

[@johngreen3543]

@@johng187 to another John G: The way our government works it takes forever to make a change of any kind. An example is the federal minimum wage has not been changed in 11 years. Pennies are not being discontinued at any time, it would bring on inflation anyway.
