Haha....I've heard the grumblings about copper price being the next big thing to take off. I thought Felix was the Zinc King?

Yea,yea. I know. 82 and earlier. Did you know there was an aluminum penny? As much as I hate aluminum, I'd sure like to get my hands on an aluminum penny.

"The Mint settled on a 95% aluminum coin and more than 1.5 million 1974 aluminum pennies were struck before the composition was rejected by Congress amidst loud opposition. While the 1974 aluminum cents were recalled, there are some that did not return to the Mint and could be exceptionally valuable if found."
