Honest questions too. I know that there are coin collectors out there, but I haven't heard of any penny specialists before.
We sell the copper ones bulk at $30 per 10lb bag, and then list the rarer varieties separately on ebay. There are some varieties as recent as 2006 which we sold for over $50 each.

I have 7 boxes filled with 50 mint sealed 2012 rolls each, that will sell for $3-4 per roll.

Per hour its not much money, but I'm weird enough to enjoy the hunt.

This site is a pretty good reference for the more valuable varieties:

Beyond keeping a full set for ourselves, we will sell them off pretty quick - I think my moneys better off in silver or platinum.
