and taking a look at this great tool called ebay it seems as though they are selling them for what they are worth at copper per pound prices. now if you get into the exotic uncirculated mint condition copper penny then ya its a collect and worth more obviously. perhaps we got our communication wrong here I am talking about your basic "I found it on the road" penny. not your "its a family heirloom" penny.
Exactly. They are selling for what they are worth at copper per pound prices. Which is MORE than $0.01, and generally around $0.02 or $0.025.So, the copper pennies are WORTH $0.02.
What do you not understand about this?
And a gold $20 coin is only worth $20?
A pre-1965 quarter is only worth $0.25?
Do you even understand what value or worth means?

nope a 20 dollar gold coin is worth its weight in gold.. duh..
I see what you are trying to do.. I am not a fool but your doing your hardest to make me so.. keep trying
perhaps you should re-read my posts I stated:

the copper its made from is worth more than the penny.

currently a copper penny is worth.. a penny.
Anyway, I am glad we are on the same page now.
my apologies I should have been more detailed
). A lot of work for what its worth. To sell copper over here you need to show your ID and give a fingerprint but that rarely happens from what I am told.. and I think it only applies to copper wire and pipe not ingots. Then good luck finding a place that will give you a good price per pound. I have met a lot of people talking about doing this but have yet to hear one of them attempting it.
