I am a present day "copper," still 10 years away from retirement. I was pulling copper out of the rolls I searched for many years. Seemed like a no brainer, as they would be worth more than their melt value. Of course, you cant melt them legally yet. And they take up a whole lotta space! I dont have as many as you, and it appears I dont have a wife that is as understanding, either!
What to do, what to do?

They probably laughed at the guys that saved 90% in '65 too.
From what I have seen lately only about 10% of circulating coins are copper. It was about 35% in 2003.
They would melt for almost $18,000 at today's price of $2.28/lb.

Is that a bench from a lounge in your area?
If so, does all the seating have that Lincoln cent Backrest?

That is actually a space under my bar. When I retired a turned the basement into a man cave. I built an oak bar with 8 stools. I have pinball, a 50 inch flat screen, a slot machine and a Kegalator. What more does a man need?

It was the bar at "The Copper Coin Lounge" a local pub in NW PA.
