Should I keep my copper pennies? I seen on Youtube, that some are keeping them because they think the price of Copper is going to sky rocket.
Uh, "no taxes", I think you made an error. Didn't you mean to say: no taxes are too much to pay for my country. That sounds better, much less incriminating.
why bother accumulate copper pennies, you can go to home depot or lowe buy copper tubing and melt for lot more money. beside the impurity in the coin takes too much separation process. a 10' x 1/2" copper is $11.75 with tax $12.50 beside you can stack the copper tubing in garage or have them cut in suitable length for you. i heard some one stole copper cable off the construction site which is so dumb and stupid. yes copper price will go skyhigh due to the major flood in australia mine. garrettace350/pro pinpointer
im not keeping them to melt anyway. I am keeping them to wait until they increase in value.
Yeah, I just don't see that happening in 'our' lifetime. I just can't see why pennies in the hundreds of millions and BILLIONS could possibly be worth anything from a Numismatic point of view. The ONLY ones I would say are worth 'anything' more than FV would be the ROLLS of un-circulated coins, besides of course, the Proof Coins and sets, etc..
You're better off melting them...
JMO,

Why buy new copper tubing to melt when there is plenty of that stuff hanging around for free.
Just gotta know where to look.
