Rates for CDN copper pennies
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2011 11:56 pm
Did some searching, but can't seem to find anything, so I thought I would post here.
Alright...so I picked up a nice large stash of foreign stuff. I've got a nice stash of pre-1997 CDN pennies (98% copper, various gram weights, depending on years). I'm pretty sure local coin shops (LCS) would not be interested in any of these.
What's the going rates for these and what kind of volume is needed in order to make it worth it, since there will be shipping costs? I'm interested only in USA to USA (sorry, my fellow canadians, your shipping costs are too much). Do you guys sell by copper weight or by exchange rate? And yes, AGgressiveMetal doesn't buy CDN pennies/nickels (I checked).
Lastly, how about George V (or VI) pennies? What kind of premium is there on these, assuming avg circ condition.
Thanks for any input.
