With the recent rise in Copper prices have you started seperating your pre 1982 pennies from the post 1982 pennies?

At least for now.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
I tried several times to edit your post...
it kept saying...."You cannot edit this post ,you are not the original author"
all i was going to add was that you liked pennies anyway.
Hey, I like pennies just fine.
But sorting through the modern pocket-change ones, just fer a little scrap copper? Nope. Fuhgeddaboutit. I don't give a hoot.
For now, as I said. If copper suddenly skyrockets and makes it worthwhile to skim through 'em, I'd do it.

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

It's 95% copper. I don't know how that translates to "grade", but I suppose if someone is looking for "pure" copper, it wouldn't suffice.
Blank Planchets
and
No Date Off-Center Strikes
for copper's vrs. zinc's for
about 15 years or more.
At some point (probably after I'm gone)
someone will want real Pre-82 Copper Blank
Planchet Cents, and same for Pre-82 N.D.
Off-Center Cents. I'll have quantities of 'em.
They're easy to seperate by either look, or
a quick toss on the small scale........
Not worth the time or trouble...yet.

Imagine all those folks that didn't take 90% silver out of circulation way back when it wasn't "worth it". Now that it is "worth it" see how much 90% silver you find in circulation today.
