If you ever come across a penny made before 1982, never sell it because they are all worth more than face value. And here's why pennies made before 1982 are made of 95% copper. So to make one pound of copper pennies, you need approximately 146 copper pennies, which weigh about 3.11 grams. Modern zinc pennies, minted after 1982, weigh only 2.5 grams to equal one pound. Let's round up and say you need 150 copper pennies, which is the equivalent of $1.50 face value. So the face value is $1.50. Let's find out how much 10 pounds of copper is worth. That's worth $15 face value. If we go on eBay, we see 10 lbs of copper pennies, 1958 to 1981, sold for $50 or best offer. Yesterday, 10 lbs of copper sold for $57.95 or best offer. And yesterday, 10 lbs of copper sold for $52. The best offer accepted. The best part about this is literally anyone can do it because finding a penny that was made before 1982 is not hard to do at all. So this is the best way beginners can start investing or selling copper.
