My 2c.
While I wouldn't melt them myself, if I had a batch I would certainly sell them to the fools paying 2x face value!



That being said, I am NOT going to spend my time tripping over dollars to find dimes! (Or in this case pennies!)
There is much more valuable scrap to go after out there!

Just my 4 cents.
