Save Copper Today and be Richer Tomorrow

[adrianwillis360]

synthetic meterial will probably make copper useless. Science will kill metal prices.

[terminal99]

@adrianwillis360 Science has been trying for a long time to replace copper with no luck.

[adrianwillis360]

@terminal99 Well they can almost recreate the big bang, so they can't be to far off. I would sell before 2030. I'm buying silver and ill sell in ten years.

@eyewarnedyou but not everyone think of it that way. i told my parent about collecting copper pennies but they dont listen to me cus they think im just a kid saying nonsense stuff. at school, everyone toss pennies n also the copper one.

[stormspottter]

would nickels be a good alternative since u don't have to sort them?

[tdubb505]

ph mining is in my hometown of milwaukee they pay well great play to be employed

[ZachandCodyCrazyLife]

im just taking a swing in the dark but it may be good to stockpile zinc because just like copper it will eventually become scarce because it is being used so much as a replacement for copper

i heard that copper is supposed to go up to $7 a pound message if you want the full story message me. it was on yahoo i think and i only remember some of it .

1982 pennis and b4 are copper

[terminal99]

@brieman2 1982 was the change over year. That year, the mint started making 95% copper then switched over to copper coated zinc. I've found that around 75% of '82's are copper. The most reliable way to tell the difference is to weigh them. A copper cent is 3.1 grams while a zinc is 2.5 grams. Will

i like those copper plankets in the jar! what are they For ya know? i want some too lol

[terminal99]

@daretohaveorangehair I don't know what they are for. I got them off Ebay when I did a search for scrap copper. Will

[shadowfaxx1]

I'm usually complaining that I have too many nickels and pennies. Now I won't. I have 2 huge old water fountain glass jars and will try filling them up now. Thanks for the info. I will quietly tell a couple of my family and friends too.

[terminal99]

@shadowfaxx1 Make sure you pick a good place for those glass jars. They will get too heavy to move in no time. Will

[ResellingPicker]

Thanks to you I have over 30 pounds of copper penny's saved.

[terminal99]

@ResellingPicker Good Going! Will

[TheNinjaPicker]

Great stuff, I need to get glasses to read the date on them. High speed rail is a joke but obama will build it anyway.

[veritasfiles]

I think you're absolutely right, though I also feel this way about Silver. I think the potential for mined metals in the future is FANTASTIC!!! And in terms of preserving purchasing power, it is ALWAYS going to do better than paper fiat money, which is typically what people are looking to get and stuff into their pockets. How much smarter would it be to be putting gold, silver, and copper into safe personal storage?

[duke55925]

Thanks for the reply and for the great information.

[whittle4u]

Many of the 1982 ones are copper too, you have to weigh them, copper ones are 3.1 grams, sometimes 3.2, and the zinc ones are 2.5 grams.

[The1100Gamers]

thanks man... ill start saving my pre 82 pennies.

[duke55925]

are you able to resell pennies for scrap copper?

[terminal99]

@duke55925 Right now it is illegal to melt them. I believe that will change once copper cents become scarce, but I really don't care if it does because I never plan on melting them. One day copper cents will be as popular as junk silver coins are now for investing in my opinion. There already is a thriving market for copper cents on Ebay.

[itachi1303]

How much is the percentage of copper in more contemporary pennies, like the 2011 penny??

[terminal99]

@itachi1303 All U.S. cents made after 1982 contain only 2.5% copper and 97.5% zinc. The copper content is only the coating that you see on the outside.

[PaperforSilver]

Hey, thanks for making another copper videos.I went to the bank and got a couple boxes. :) thanks

[terminal99]

@PaperforSilver I love copper as an investment. I was overdue for a new video. Now if I can only figure out how to edit! Will

[in4fun]

Good Video and you are right get the pennies now. It looks like a great project for my two little kids this summer. We will start to sort pennies and count money.

[terminal99]

@in4fun The kids love playing with pennies. If you want to get serious, look into getting a Ryedale sorter. They can sort thru a whole box in a few minutes. Will
