Posted: Thu May 12, 2011 6:19 pmI do throw any BU coppers from the sixties that I find into a separate pail. After all they are either 50 years old or will be soon.

Posted: Thu May 12, 2011 6:28 pmI do definitely keep nice shiny, BU coppers. I have even found 3 or so from the 1940's and a very nice '93 Canadian yesterday. I probably only have $2 or so saved up, but they look beautiful.

Posted: Thu May 12, 2011 8:34 pmI think Brinks was hoarding 1968s because I got hundreds of them in the last few string boxes just as bright and shiny as a brand new one. Not sure where they were for all that time. I save all the shinys

Posted: Thu May 12, 2011 11:53 pmI have a separate $50 bag for the EX/AU Memorials; especially for the older ones (59-76). Some day I am quite sure they will command at least a slight premium over the lower grades.
Re: shiny copper
Posted: Fri May 13, 2011 2:29 amI just started setting them aside...not sure if they will ever be "special" or not. It makes for a nice looking jar of change though.... 
Re: shiny copper
Posted: Fri May 13, 2011 6:36 amI sort and save the nice coppers too - It goes back to "someday the grandkids..." - might have a few starter sets with what I've separated so far.
