so how much is each roll of copper pennies actually worth? do i follow the per cent worth or the per lb worth?

it is really what you can get for it. depends if you sort by date and mint mark or just for copper

just for copper. i have 22 rolls and im just couriuos what im looking at so far

What ever a buyer is willing to pay. No more, no less...

About $.70-.80 a roll, give or take.

Don't let these numbers discourage you. Some people will think it is not worth it and dump their hoard for FRN's. At a 40% increase in net worth I would rather have my savings in copper pennies instead of a bank account.

that coin value site says a roll is $1.15...why is your quote so low?

Scrapper gave a "what you will probably get" quote while coinflation gives you the actual value. Your goal is to get people to buy as close to that actual value as possible.

I was giving a rough amount for what they sell for. But you're right, the metal content value is higher. What makes them not sell for their actual metal content value is the ban on melting them.

Yes, in part. I would say they sell for less than their "melt value" would be because people can still get them at face value, and that there is not a WELL-established market of buyers of larger quantities. Yet.

Im no expert, but at 22 rolls, you will always have eleven dollars! just try to keep adding to that in the most cost and time efficient method for you.

I sold some rolls at $1 each at a coin show yesterday.. but only a few.

According to all banks in the USA, each roll is worth 50 cents.

According to E-bay .. Here is your basic $175 roll. P.S. great humor and seriousness in this thread so far.

IF refiner bought the coins at the cent metal value he would have no profit to pay self and staff plus all his costs. PEACE!!
