Copper 82's and prior should be listed for $.02 cents. Melt value has been $.02 for a long time. When do you think they may list them. Same for Jefferson Nicks.

The case for copper 82s and prior is much stronger than the case for Jefferson nicks. The above mentioned coppers are worth more than double face while the nickels are only a very small percentage above face. There have been times when the coppers have been worth TRIPLE face while the nickels have never reached double face.

If I were publishing a coin book, I would either list the coppers at .02 each OR I would simply put "bv" in that column. BV as in bullion value.

I like that BV idea, and put a corresponding chart in the back showing bullion value at various copper prices. They do that already with gold and silver, so copper would be a helpful addition.
