Is there any place that pays above face value copper pennies?

for melt purposes? it is now illegal to melt them.

........just as MsMorrisine stated it is illegal to sell for melt, BUT! if you're bent on doing it i'm sure you can find a junk/bone yard that would take them off your hands but you'll need to have PLENTY! after all i know some yards that don't even blink when a pick-up drives in with fresh copper tubing that was freshly ripped out of someones house!

and we all know THAT'S not legal.

If anybody actually buys the ones on fleaBay, then I guess yes.

Try going to Realcent.com
Many copper hoarders there that will pay about 1.3-1.4x face for lots. They wont buy from you til you have been there and have proven yourself as a reliable seller.
