Scammer
When I confronted him about the fact you cannot scrap Pennie’s! Only us gov can so don’t fall for this one! Please pass this on to everyone you know,
I once encountered a scam involving the scrapping of pennies, and it quickly became clear how misleading some sellers can be. The key fact is that scrapping pennies for their copper content is illegal in the United States; only the federal government has the authority to do this. Individuals who claim they can pay you scrap value for pennies are often trying to trick you into selling worthless coins at a loss. One common tactic scammers use is to claim pennies have valuable copper content and offer to buy them at scrap prices. However, modern pennies minted after 1982 are mostly zinc with only a thin copper plating, making their metal value far lower than face value or collectible worth. Sellers who have already searched through coins to remove genuine collectibles leave you with ordinary pennies that have minimal value beyond their face amount. If you want to sell coins, especially collectible ones, it’s much safer to approach reputable coin dealers or attend commodity markets where authenticity and fairness are more likely guaranteed. Avoid rushed deals with unknown buyers who push you to sell scrap pennies. Remember, selling coins at scrap metal prices can cause financial loss and may expose you to legal risks. By spreading awareness about penny scrapping fraud, we can help protect more people from falling victim to these scams. Always verify information and consult trustworthy sources before engaging in coin selling or buying, especially when claims seem too good to be true.
