I bought an estate about 7 months ago.
I have about 300-500 pounds of copper pennies.
Most are in tubes and dated.
Some tubes full others not full.
My dilemma is this,
Do I dump them all together to get a count?
Do I leave them in tubes and have no clear idea of how to weigh them because of the full and not full tubes.
I also have tubes and rolls of newer pennies that mean nothing to me but are dated.
Do I just take these to the bank and pay down my mortgage?
I also have a list of BU red pennies listed here

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Don't dump the coppers, someone here will buy them.

Somebody might be interested in the rolls of zincs, but you will have to be more specific.

You might want to get a digital scale which costs btween $10 and $15. A full role of copper pennies should wiegh around 155 grams (3.1 grams x 50) and while role of zinc pennies (A.K.A. "Zincolns") should be closer to 125 grams (2.5 grams x 50).

If the rolls of zinc pennies are uncirculated you should able to them sell at a premium.

Doesnt sound like too much to me..

you R on the wrong forum.

The nature of my problem was to invest in copper penny bullion as an investment to make money!!

I would look through the rolls and see how accurately they are labled because you may have some good stuff in there. Just take everything you don't want and put it into a bucket and take it to the bank one day. If you want to save the copper or sell it than that is your choice.

I am not certain, but I think that was a joke. As in, if you think 500 pounds of pennies is too much, you are at the wrong place.

I will buy some of the BU rolls. what dates do you have?

Yeah, I guarantee if you start a thread in the market area, and give us enough info, you will have takers. I'd like some specific dates of BU rolls...

yes chris, post some stuff for sale, i think you would have success here with it. Maybe some pics too.

For anyone that doesn't know, christostock is a very respected member of BS. If you guys want deals on silver, this is the guy to talk too!!! Looks like he is venturing into copper now!

Show us the goods Chris.

Well, I am working on getting my 10 posts before I can post in the for sale area.
I think I need more rambling before I can start selling here??
Is that right or wrong.
If you try hard enough you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Just lead me by the nose ring and I shall follow.

So Chris what part of WV are you from?

and do you plan on bidding on that super nice PCGS orange and purple ASE on BS?

Chris is my new go to guy when I am looking to buy silver.

I have a very hard time stopping myself when bidding on something.
I get all crazy and spend way too much money just to show the other guy that I could win.
Then I can never recover my $$$ cause I spent wayyyy toooo much.
Sorta like drinkin, always waayyyy tooo much.
So I do my best to not bid in competitive Auction type settings.

This must be like "So what part of TEXAS you from anyway" over yonder?
If so, I am from the northeasern part of texas oops, I mean West Virginia.

Just noticed your location, very nice!

So here is a little more about myself perhaps you guys should know.
My last post was just not enough, as I said, I need more of everything.
I do have 4 different scales. I also have 4 different coin counting machines. 2 modern and 2 antique types.
Bought all this stuff to be able to do this coin thing more efficiently.
So now I need more coins to make all these scales and counters earn their keep.
Am I starting to fit in here yet??

You knew my location before I modified my profile!!
I believe you have received more than a couple packages!
But thank you anyway, I like it here, well beside the TAX part of my home state.

Careful now, don't want to get Ray mad at me
But, you're right.
The folllowing was listed on saturday night at about 11:30 and most was sold before market opening on Sunday.
I do my best to find deals and move them along to other people looking for deals.
I usually make about 1-1.5% on most items I buy and sell right away.
I have learned to just be happy with the low percent as holding metal in a down market makes me kinda grumpy.
I just can't seem to stop though.
