copper cents
Does anyone else save pre-1982 95% copper cents? Coinflation.com list the bullion value at 0.025. Even thouhgh they are currently illegal to melt that ban may be lifted like pre-1964 silver coinage. I save them because I only pay face value, I see them selling on ebay at a premium.

Yeah I have been saving them since I heard this too. I don't know if anything will come from it, but i would rather have them then not. I also save my nickels for the same reason.

Thanks for the info snake35, I did not know this about pennies we have a buck full and we save coins and roll then and take them to the bank when we need extra cash.

I have heard of saving pennies for the copper value, but what is the value of a nickel? I save all of my coins, and when the bank is full I roll them and take to the bank.
I have not separated Pre-1982 pennies or nickels, but can easily separate since I am doing the sorting. Is this something you have to do on-line, or are there retail outlets that will give you the higher value?The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.
