@edgarsanchez1904 Yeah I wish, I know they are out there, but I have not yet personally found one. I have questioned a few scrap places. One I questioned didn't seem to even know that there was any significance or worth in pennies other than their face value. I have sold them in bulk lots of 30# plus on ebay and it they would fetch about 1.5-1.9 face value about 6-8 months ago. It may have gone up since then and it depends on sellers rating of course and how you list it...
@edgarsanchez1904 Let me know if you find one : ). I think it would take a good relationship/trust and/or recommendation to find a place for the most part...
@edgarsanchez1904 What's up man. I would say and I am assuming you mean without a scale to right? Try a magnet or the sound test. There is a different sound that the 95% copper pennies will make if you drop them/throw them down. It would take a little getting used to hearing the different ping but it can be fun lol. And be sure you are comparing the sound to a penny you know is the 95% copper which will be all the 1981 and before except for the steel penny which I believe was 1943..
I would suggest having many many pounds, try getting a ton, literally a ton of pennies your goal! The copper penny (up to 1981) as of today is worth $0.0208058. It is the most valuable (percentage wise) of any of our still circulating coinage that is very easily readily found on a daily basis. There are older pennies that have more value based on rarity and collectible value. It is best to google that and you can find price charts.
@@salcurcio86 That's interesting. I wonder if it was part of a special set or proof set that ended up getting mixed up in circulation. Silver makes a certain sound, a high pitched ringing that is distinct from other metals. Also you could do a acid test with a silver testing acid to find out if it is silver.
@FilteredInc or else try a magnet. The non-copper pennies will have a better attraction to the magnet then the copper ones (copper is not magnetic). Don't use Neodymium magnets though as they don't seem to have any attraction to zinc...
