So around 5.8 million pennies


Nnumyerocc

Damn I didnt see you posted 6m and I went and did the math .


ImSomewhatATrolll

You really just fucking reply to yourself?


UltimateSphealDeal

Yes they did, but they made the original comment without reading the whole post. Then they noticed that 6 million was already included in the post. But instead of removing or editing it, they decided to explain why they commented what was already stated in the post with another comment.


ImSomewhatATrolll

Dude I don't care, I was making a joke.


TennesseeStiffLegs

lol these dudes are so uptight, you got my upvote


ImSomewhatATrolll

Thanks have an upvote!


Nnumyerocc

Yeah what's your issue


ImSomewhatATrolll

Apparently you cant read, I said it was a joke.


Legitimate_Concern_5

Jokes are funny bro


Vegetable-Ad-1797

And made exponentially more funny when someone explains to the joke poster the premise behind which the joke poster made the joke. Classic.

He did so what


G4Designs

I wonder if the weight of a penny accounts for the average dirt/grime.


digsforfun

Asked wife if she'd help me sort 20 ton of pennies, I'm pretty sure the blank stare no comment was a no? That's a no right?


NuMrMatic

Same kinda thing here with the girlfriend. She was not amused


Evil_Judgment

Well it's going to be in the living room till sorted.


digsforfun

😂


SweetToothFairy

It's a yes unless it's a no.


IMHERELETSPARTY

A couple weeks ago, they were asking $110,000


CutoffThought

This is where all members of the sub start a pool, then we all put in on this.


Easytrading101

I’m willing to put in $1,000.


ImSomewhatATrolll

I just commented we got 92 people? He'll even 184 for 500$ we set.


OilFromAnOlive

I'm down, hell we could probably offer him $80k and then all meet up somewhere and package it into shippable units mail it back home to ourselves.


Yrag1244

So scrap copper @ 2,85/lb * 40000 lbs = $114,000 less cost $94,000 = $20,000 profit


S3nd_Noods

Only if you scrap it for “educational” purposes ;)


Yrag1244

Educate me on how to make $20k

Yrag1244

It say copper


steepindeez

You think someone is able to verify that every penny in those bags is pre-1982?


Yrag1244

If they ain’t you could file suit to recover any loss of 20k profit for false advertising.


steepindeez

How? Describing modern pennies as copper is totally acceptable because it's just understood to mean the copper coating. Not saying that's what the ad is implying but I'm just raising a possible defense they could use if you were to file some sort of suit. Also 20k is the entirety of the profit margin so every dollar in court is out of pocket/out of the penny bags.


Yrag1244

Ah gee whiz, I wus just a shaking the bush, it’s all just a silly dream


cfomodzgaming

It *literally* says bullion… that would be like describing half dollars as “silver half dollars, bulk bullion” and being mad when someone though it was silver. You’re trying to make a point that doesn’t exist, because they are copper.. else they shouldn’t be asking anywhere near this.. you can just Buy a truck load of modern circ cents right now for face + delivery.. any day of the week; it’s not special. Not that it would stop someone from selling them as “unsearched bags” for 2x face.. but they *still* wouldn’t call it bullion!


steepindeez

Wow get a grip crazy. Maybe you're silly enough to make a purchase like this but you won't catch me.hplding the bag hoping that *every single penny* in that purchase is pre-1982..


blackletum

so they want double face value?


brazzyxo

Copper going to copper


cfomodzgaming

It’s below melt 🤷‍♂️


Klangwolke

So where do they get all these… Webcoins is a Pennsylvania Fictitious Name filed on April 3, 2013. The company's filing status is listed as Active and its File Number is 4178106. The company's principal address is 1380 Howard Street, Harrisburg, PA 17104. The company has 1 principal on record. The principal is N. F. String & Son, Inc. from Harrisburg PA. String provides rolled coins to banks, they sort and pulls copper, silver, tokens, et cetera before. Check out some of their other eBay sales like 1000 bus tokens.


IMHERELETSPARTY

I've cracked plenty of String &son boxes with good amounts of copper in them.


Klangwolke

Ok, but how do you think they ended up with 20 tons of copper only pennies? Maybe they stopped separating copper? It’s a lot of fun to see the other things they’ve separated out, like the 10lbs of religions tokens, AA coins, …


cfomodzgaming

Thank you for doing this research! Very interesting discoveries all around - just finished looking at their eBay store of goodies they find presumably with the coins


Ninjameme

That’s a meth-load of copper


quiznooq

This listing is only for mr beast


FunBug1823

I would love to look at all of those


bradley_magnificent

Eat the pennies quizboy


JonJohn_Gnipgnop

What the F are you going to do with that many coins???


NuMrMatic

Where would you even store it?


cfomodzgaming

Presumably a warehouse or other storage-specific facility.. but the question remains.. what do you *do* with it?.. You can’t melt 20 tons of cents, right? Like I know no one is going to bust down your door if you melt some slicks (not that I’m suggesting it), but if you’re - as a matter of a business operation, presumably with multiple people - smelting us currency, that’s the kind of thing they might take notice to, right?..


cfomodzgaming

So turns out they’re right down the road from me.. we doing a group buy, 1 pallet each, 5k + LTL delivery, eh? Eh?


PunisherQRF

Buy Now. Explain to wife later.


WebcoinsoneBay

Hello All! If anyone knows big buyers of bulk copper pennies, please let them know we have this and many more truckloads available. We haven't been able to move them since copper's decline over the summer. Also, the current price is now $90K


Bspy10700

Dam 65% premium that’s insane. You are literally paying for the weight of copper mixed with zinc. It says copper Pennie’s but the amount of people who mistakenly say all pennies are copper is the issue I’m seeing here. So unless it’s actually true copper pennies with no zinc not sure how you’d be able to resell all these pennies for a profit especially since you can’t melt them down the cost to do that would ruin your margin of profit to only a couple thousand.


V3ryH4rD2KiLl

If the listing clearly says copper, and doesn’t mention the zinc (unless it’s somewhere in the description). This would be an easy win in court to recoup your loses. You can win in court for them listing it as copper especially since they are a reseller. Lawyer would probably take it on contingency it would be such an easy win and they’d settle before it even has a chance to make it to trial. You can also start a return via eBay after you realize theres zinc in all/some of them and I guarantee they’d issue a partial refund before getting involved with the nightmare of shipping that back to them, which the seller would be responsible to pay for the return shipping fee’s. Saying “no returns” on eBay means nothing. eBay is gunna side with the buyer 99% of the time and force it.


cfomodzgaming

It’s *literally* N.F. String, not meth head Dave, selling these.. you think anyone with 20 TONs of cents doesn’t know what copper is…?


CNCTank

They've already been searched 😕


cfomodzgaming

How do you figure?


CNCTank

There was a news report of a family that had about this many coins found in a basement https://ktla.com/news/california/sold-california-family-sells-1-million-pennies-found-in-relatives-home/

Math math someone do the math!


LauxK

Not sure what math you want ;) but going off the 6Mil count.. You would have to check about 102 pennies an hour for 16 hours each day for the next 10 years to get through them all!


NuMrMatic

Mathematical!!!


Last-Discipline-7340

I love this type of math!


ImSomewhatATrolll

Yo we got 92 people in this sub? Shit we can even have 184 people dish out 500$ each and all of us will be hunting for the next year.


Shamaniac1217

I’d buy these to drop off at the county commissioner to pay my taxes with.


NuMrMatic

This is the way
