Why I Search For Pennies (Hint-Coin Metamorphoses)

I am a coin shooter first and everything else shooter second. I have lots of jewelry and great relics like every one else, but I just got to pick up those coins lying around. And of course the majority are pennies. Some guys can't stand them. They try to disc them out, but you can't....plain and simple! Too much variety for one thing...ie zincs, wheats, indians, large, Canadians, Canadian steel cents. If you try to disc out all these....you are losing too many great finds! But, go ahead, disc them out. I tip my hat to you.

Alchemists tried for many hundreds of years to change cheap metal ores into valuable metals such as gold and silver. Welcome to the millennium. Now it can be done :). I go out of my way search out those pennies. Show me a junior high school and I'll show you how to pop those endless pennies out, sometimes 100 per hour. Of course I also get rings (gold & silver), silver coins and other surprises. But I'm talking about pennies......

As of last year, I had accumulated a total of 69,689 ($696.89) worth of those most hated coins. And, each year I wash those suckers, roll them and cash them in at the bank. Then comes the "coin-metamorphasis"......I purchase a gold coin. That's right....enough pennies to buy a gold coin each year. And I have 14 gold coins to date. As I said....I "CAN" change copper to gold.

Below is last years purchase. I suspect this years purchase just might require a little addition of other clad for a purchase, as the price of gold keeps going up and up and up............

Yeah I ain't fond of pennies but dig them. Skipping over them can often cost you something valuable. Wish I had owned a detector when I was a kid, I'd have been rich. Pennies bought a slew of stuff back then Ten of them would have paid my way into the movies and 15 more would have bought my popcorn, candy, and drink. Whatever happened to those days. Forgot penny candy. You could get several pieces for a penny. You couls buy a post card at the Post Office for a penny and stamps for pennies. At the price of copper now maybe you should melt them down. THieves around here are stealing everything that is made of copper. They raided a cemetary the other night and stole all the copper urns from each grave. What a bunch of cruds.
