Is there a place to sell BU Copper Memorials for scrap?

WheatFanatic

i have almost 100 rolls of BU Memorial cents from 1959 to 1980 that have been searched for high grades (though i didn't search them for errors just not enough time). i noticed that dealers only pay maybe 60-70 cents a roll, which including what the tube cost, is not even worth it. is there anywhere to sell them as scrap or does any board members buy them for scrap?

sell them as a lot on feebay

is it worth going through the trouble? unless i can get at least $1 a roll it's easier to just take them to the bank.

Maybe put them into whitman folders and sell them on E-bay right before Christmas, or donate them to YN's

I think it's a virtual certainty that you'll get at least $1/roll. I sold about $300 face for about $800 a year ago (in my case, I split it into a dozen or so lots, by date).

Ship using the USPS flat rate boxes for $8.10.

Definitely better than going to the bank.

My scrap guy buys copper cents, but if they're BU coins I'd definitely put them on ebay. Somebody will pay for them.
