I'm curious to see how much copper you guys have (I'm planing to get one ton of copper pennies) and might keep track month to month or something.

I was up to $10,000 face but sold it off a couple of years ago, couldn't resist $155 per CTU. Now I'm down to maybe
1.5 CTU's

Just about have my 6th 50 Cal can full. $100 face in a can. Oh, and almost a can of copper 82s.

Size doesn't matter.
Hoard all you want, without a buyer, your stack is only worth face value.
Sort and sell, build your stack for free from the profit.

I don't even know how to quantify mine, not that it is huge, but am I supposed to include nickels (which are 75% copper)?

However, I do have a story. A friend of mine sold about 4-5 bags of 5,000 wheat cents to a man who said he had a lot more in his vault. How much? He has a container which is made of walls that are 4" thick lucite. It is 12 feet long, about 5' wide and 4' high. He said he has a whopping 10 million wheat cents in the container! $100,000 face value in pennies is staggering!

At least a few pounds or more.

I am always a buyer if the price is right.



My stack is fairly large.

I am at about 1850 lbs already sorted. I have about $5,000 in bricks that need to be hand sorted. I have weighed them so I know that there is about 27% copper in them. So that is about another 925 lbs of copper that is mixed in with the zincs. I really thought that the gov. would get rid of the penny after canada did, so I picked up as many bricks as I could. But now I am thinking that we will never get rid of the penny.

2 hand fulls.

Now that is a jaw dropper for sure! It's hard for me to grasp that many wheaties in one person's possession.

I honestly don't know how much I have. Let's say a large wheelbarrow's worth.

Not enough to fill a wheelbarrow, but more than I can carry by hand in one trip.

As far as US coppers, I don't have a whole lot of them anymore, save the ones I find in change.....my Canadian mini-hoard is much larger though. I'm guessing maybe 100lbs?
