Copper

I just realized I had a message from someone in here about my Lincoln pennies post a week or so ago. Don't get me wrong, I am not letting ANY collectible Lincolns go to the smelter. I have about 70 on-going collections of them, and plan to expand to as many as needed to use up my good Lincolns. I am pretty lenient on condition. They must be readable, and they must not have any foreign material or stains on them. THOSE pennies will go to the smelter. But even the ones that have been improperly cleaned have a separate space, in case I need one of them later when they patina again. So peace to the one who wanted to save the Lincolns from the 'fire' as he put it. They are safe, but if I ever get the urge, you will be the first one I go to.
