  • The Copper Penny Dump Hunt - Why I Stack Copper Pennies
    I picked up 100 rolls of customer wrapped pennies from my bak in hopes of finding a bunch of wheat cents, varieties or even some copper for my stack. I figured out pretty quickly that this was not going to be an ordinary hunt...
    Keep hunting and good luck!
    They're still out there for us to find!

    @silverchupacabra73 Před rokem +1

    That hunt was just plain "weird", Rob. Not the fact that there just wasn't anything there other than the copper. All I've ever hit with customer wrapped rolls so far in my hunts is bupkis, so that's not shocking to me. Not one wheatie in any of those 5000 cents? That's astonishing to me. When I go through rolls if I get a coin like a wheatback that I already have in my collection, I end up rerolling it to the bank so someone else can find it. I know not everyone does that but I don't see the point with having another 1958-D penny in my collection. It's basically worth a "cent" and no more. Let someone else enjoy the thrill of the hunt! Thanks for showing us another coin roll hunt! Love ya, RFT!!!!

    That's all speculation for when the U.S. follows Canada and Australia and discontinue the use of penny's. I know that you are very knowledgeable and we can't legally melt U.S. coins. But you may need a warehouse to store them until that happens. Good luck Rob and keep your excellent content flowing.

    • @MrK623
      @MrK623 Před rokem

      You can't melt pennies or nickels but you can melt silver (and gold) coins. It's not worth storing copper. The time, money, storage, and physical labor is not worth it. 1. It is illegal to melt. 2. Even if it were legal, it is not Grade A 100% copper, it is an alloy and scrap dealers will only pay you a max of 25% of spot. Copper would have to go to $6 to break even. 3. The high was 5.02 and the current spot is 4.05.

    That is melt value if you could melt it, which is illegal currently, because they have not discontinued the penny. Currently it costs more to produce a penny than its value, so I can’t imagine it will be too much longer before they do completely nix the penny. That doesn’t stop me from collecting copper because one day they will.

      Oh, rob explained it further into the vid. Just asking, is that legal to melt those in us? In europe that isn't legal with euro. But I think it wouldn't even be profitable here

    Isn’t that possible profit. You can’t melt them right. So they’re still only a penny

      @RobFindsTreasure  Před rokem

      It is possible profit. That being said, there are many buyers out there who love to buy bulk copper cents by the pound. I don't sell them (yet) but I have them should I decide to.

    Will you sell copper pennies for scrap if it becomes legal? I have been hoarding copper for years thinking that eventually they will stop making pennies.

    It's not worth storing copper. The time, money, storage, and physical labor is not worth it. 1. It is illegal to melt. 2. Even if it were legal, it is not Grade A 100% copper, it is an alloy and scrap dealers will only pay you a max of 25% of spot. Copper would have to go to $6 to break even. 3. The high was 5.02 and the current spot is 4.05.

    Considering you can't actually melt any of it, doesn't really seem to make much sense to keep the copper.

      What if you take the copper to another country? Then melt it down at that location. Cost of the fuel to melt the copper would probably kill your profit though.
