I have found quite a few UK pennies and now buying some mixed foreign I got a bucket full of them. Many are copper. Anyone tried sorting UK pennies? Anyone ever sold them?

I've sold a couple 10 pound lots of copper 1 and 2 pence for about 1.3 x melt. Post-decimal coins are easy enough to sort with a magnet.

I sorted out quite a few and sold them to Copper Cave but they have not been moving at the retail level so far as I can tell. I think the same 50 lbs have been sitting there for a long time. The purity and face value are both higher than US but its a knowledge and availability issue - its easier for most people to just save US pennies.

Ya that is what I'm thinking. I cleaned up a bunch of UK pence from coin lots and have a bunch to sort. Might as well keep the copper ones in a bag here rather than trying to take them to the UK. I seem to have sold you most of my UK stash pulled from circulation, but they keep accumulating here.

Well it is called British Columbia after all

Only sold about 10 pounds this year. I need to drop my buy and sell prices.
