![]() ![]() I’ve been collecting coins since I was a kid but I’ve only just recently gained more of an interest in learning more about all of it. I hope you find something of value, Michael! Please let me know if I might be of further assistance. Plus, some info on dealing with a coin dealer: I’ve included a link that might help you further: You mention some other potentially valuable coins. It’s your call on whether or not you have the time to afford a search or if you’d rather go for the “quick cash,” as it were. So, that’s more than face value, but not as much as you might get if there are some rare coins in that bag. You could also sell the pennies to a dealer as a bulk lot, for which you might receive 2 or 3 cents per coin. There are actually many pennies worth significantly more than face value and you’ll find a list of those valuable pennies here: However, I’m glad that you have the chance to go through the coins and see if there’s anything there that may be rare and valuable.Īs for digging through the thousands of pennies, yes - if you want to look for old coins there’s a possibility there could be some rare or other scarce pennies worth your while. I’d like to exchange notes sometime if your interested. Have you ever come across a “dead” box like this of virtually NO copper? Just curious. I am certain that this had to have come from a huge batch that had already been sorted, but somehow that batch stayed pretty much together when they were machine wrapped at whatever facility does that. I had one question, I have come across a box (NOT Customer Wrapped and NOT all new uncirculated pennies) But the box contained literally less than 1% copper. I’ve got a bank that has a change machine free to use for customers… so dumping the pennies I don’t want isn’t too much of a hassle. I’ve managed to go through an average of just a little over two $25 boxes a week. I suppose this is due to pennies being lost in time and perhaps more people are hoarding than I realize. The boxes don’t vary greatly, but I’ve noticed a very very very slight and gradual decline. I have separated about $20 worth of wheat pennies, $8 of canadian, and about a dozen Burmuda/Bahama a dozen Panama a couple dozen dimes that have gotten mixed in but am really happy to have found 3 Indian Head Pennies doing this (2 1907s and 1 1904). I keep pretty good stats and am pulling about 22% copper. I’m in Northern Virginia and I suspect the rates may vary geographically. I do it strictly by hand, so I am limited to sacrificing some of my limited and valuable free time. I’ve been hoarding copper pennies for about two years now. It is good to know someone else shares this kind of unique hobby. ![]()
