It is fine that you want the collectors (including myself) to know as much as possible, but no one should get bent out of shape from this knowledge.
While it is true that the "coppers" may show up again, even permanently, this does not diminish the fact that most of the recent ones were minted in limited amounts (250?, 500?, 1000?), and most likely will never again be re-minted in "copper". Only the long-run issues should get that chance.
So, please, do not demean us collectors for collecting the "foolish coppers". We are just collecting what we've always been doing...collecting all new issues as they come out to fill our collections...and we're all friends in this relatively small group, aren't we?
I do realize, though, that there are quite a few collectors who aren't "messing around" with the coppers.
