storing those coppers

[Sheikh_yer_Bu'Tay]

It is 146, Ed. 454 grams per pound/3.11 grams per penny = 145.98 pennies per pound.

I am just going by Coinflation's melt calculator: http://www.coinflation.com/coins/baseme ... lator.html

and my own personal experience of weighing them on a scale. Like Hoard said, it depends on how much wear is on the pennies.

EDIT: Oh, wait a minute. I am talking about the amout of copper in the penny. You guys are talking about the amount of wieght per penny per pound. Got it. By my reckoning, it takes $1.55 to equal a pound of copper.

Picked up the buckets yesterday. They need to be cleaned out before i can use them for storage...

Also i can't seem to get the smell of condiments out of my nose. I may never enjoy a ballpark frank again until this smell goes away.


How tragic.

$1.00 per bucket with lids is a great deal I wish I could find some for that price. I machine roll and box all the coppers that go into my hoard but I do keep a couple of 5 gallon pails full for selling.

Where do the boxes get stored? Basement, vault, garage? I'm interested to hear if the location is air conditioned / dry, and in a stable temp...

Mine are in a not so dry location at the moment...
