Coinjoe2006 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I recently heard on the news that any penny pre 1982 is worth atleast $1. This is because the copper content. If this is so, then how can wheaties and such sell for less than $1 a piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Pre1982 cents are worth more than $0.01 not $1.00. I wish they were though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
