ebay If you suspect the coin has significant value, you might be better off show-casing it with someone who knows and sells coins. They will get more interested traffic and can help you get more what it is worth.

∙ 12y agoAn Australian 1920 Penny, depending on where it was minted and what condition it is in, could be worth quite a bit.
I suggest you take it to a reputable coin dealer who will be able to give you a reliable valuation based on the previous criteria and maybe even buy it from you.
Alternatively, try eBay or a coin collectors club.

∙ 13y agoeBay and Craigslist are your two main options when it comes to selling copper pennies since refiners can't take them because they are illegal to melt and most coin shops don't want to deal with large boxes of low value coins that are hard to sell.

Is it legal to sell copper pennies to scrap dealers for the copper?

Can you sell your pennies as copper by weight?
Well, you could... However, pennies are not pure copper. By the time the buyer would melt out the other metal, you probably would not get 1-cent for each penny. I mean, think about it...If copper pennies contained a lot of pure copper, everyone would be taking pick-up trucks full of pennies to sell as copper. But no one does, because it is not pure copper and has little value even after being melted. You'd be better off saving your pennies and buying yourself a CD -- at least the music would give you some enjoyment.
Why do some people hoard copper pennies?

How much is 130lbs pennys us weight in dollars?
It depends on the year. Before 1982, pennies contained 95% copper and 5% zinc. Those minted after 1982 are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. Today's pennies weigh less. So if the majority of the pennies are after 1982, you would most likely have about 23,586 pennies, which is equal to $235.86 USD. If the majority of the pennies are before 1982, you would most likely have 18,960 pennies, which is equal to $189.60 USD. But then again you can smelt the pennies and sell the copper. I hope this helped you. :)
