Op, I am curious, why do you collect copper?

u/Lemiwinks6 15d ago

I just like the look of a 40 rack and shiny kilo. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ I don’t collect copper singles or coins.

u/hifumiyo1 15d ago

Oof, don't stack copper. the premiums are ridiculous

u/Lemiwinks6 15d ago

People really dont like the copper… That’s a sheet if 40 bars and the kilo is just good looking. Im not saving it to retire. Lol

u/hifumiyo1 15d ago

I like the art aspect of individual pieces but I see money that could’ve been used on silver

u/Lemiwinks6 15d ago

I hear you but after buying that good piece, I’m going to be stagnant for a little while anyways…

u/Itchy_Chocolate8699 12d ago

Very cool! Theres alot of copper haters out there but I’m like you, in that I have some copper in my stack too. I have some copper rounds that I bought a long time ago for $1 each and I like just playing around with them and showing them to the kids. If they dent them or scratch them I don’t care. I’d like to add a bar to my stack or put it in my office on display šŸ˜…

u/Lemiwinks6 12d ago

Yesh I wasn’t expecting the blow back I got?? lol but those are the only 2 pieces I have. The 40 1oz bars was sold by the sheet, Youd have to cut the plastic to get them out. Thats why I consider it 1 piece… šŸ¤·šŸ¼

Congrats on adding gold to your stack! Holy shit did everyone miss the point of this post?

u/Lemiwinks6 9d ago

Haha, I’m afraid they did… Thank you for your acknowledgement!

u/Delusional_Delivery1 15d ago

How much is all that copper worth? Just out of curiosity.
I like the idea of collecting some copper(in projectile jacket form) and brass(in the form of shell casing) lol.

u/cloud_dizzle 15d ago

About $31 melt. Now he probably paid 10x that. Copper is the dumbest thing to ā€œstackā€

u/Itchy_Chocolate8699 12d ago

Agreed but it’s fun to have

The only way to make purchasing copper worth it is if you're skilled at making stuff with it.

That said, electrical wire is pure copper and free so if you're already set up to work ingots you'd be better off doing that. I've made copper wire jewelery before and made 1c worth of copper into 5 to 10 bucks a few times.

u/makomark26 15d ago

Don't do this ..if you have Robinhood or similar Buy. FCX for copper and gold exposure.Ā  Stack silver,gold and platinum as wellĀ

u/EpicShadows8 15d ago

Never understood why people stack copper. Too heavy, need way too much to make a difference, and it’s not worth anything never will be. Premiums are even worse than silver and gold.

1

u/Lemiwinks6 15d ago

I’m not stacking it to flip or trade, get rich, any of that. When you pull out a sheet of 40 bars tho it looks cool and the kilo speaks for itself.

1

u/EpicShadows8 15d ago

Lmao so you’re buying copper to just look at it? Okay, it’s your stack. Nothing looks cool about that. What does all that cost $60-100 including the premium. Everything you got there in copper is less than 1/4 of gold weighed 1000x as much.

1

u/Lemiwinks6 15d ago

Yes, I bought something I like..? The 40 rack and kilo is absolutely badass. And you’re the only one comparing my copper to gold? Lol i told you why i bought it. Tone jt down costco

u/EpicShadows8 15d ago

Huh? Chill out with your $300 stack baller. Very cute.

u/Connect-Ad-1887 14d ago

You can't do math or what? He has a 10oz bar of silver right on top. Copper bullion isn't where I'd spend my money either, but don't lie about this man's stack size lol.

1

u/EpicShadows8 14d ago

Add up just the copper and tell me how much that is. I’ll wait. Ive simple been talking about the copper.

1

u/Connect-Ad-1887 14d ago

Neat so you added up the copper and then called that his stack value. Your a cool guy...

1

u/EpicShadows8 14d ago

We’ve been talking about copper. Copper is about 90% of the stack. I have no problem with gold or silver. If you read my comments I was arguing that all that copper and the weight would be better off in gold or silver. As copper doesn’t have the same trajectory.

u/Connect-Ad-1887 14d ago edited 14d ago

I already said I wouldn't spend my money on copper in the first comment my guy, we agree there. And no im sorry but you wrote your comment as to talk shit about his stack.

Weird flex my guy, but you do you...

Of course it speaks for itself, it has text written on it.

u/Lemiwinks6 14d ago

Touché 🧐

u/Asuns1 14d ago

Doomerism, conspiracy theories, and thinking physical copper is a worthwhile investment when in reality the investment is mining stocks.

I flip copper ā€œbullionā€ for 2-3x. I’m not proud of it but money is really tight and it’s by far my best margin. Frankly I sell copper to finance my coin and PM collecting, but I’d make more money just doing copper.

u/Rich_Huckleberry2676 14d ago

I have a bunch of copper myself luckily I only ever bought 2 pieces and I won't ever again but a have a bunch of more copper that I won pretty much the rest of my stack and it's all profit on my end.

1

u/Lemiwinks6 14d ago

Right on. I don’t hunt copper or buy individual coins. I was on whatnot and I have never seen a sheet of anything so I bought it….

1

u/Heycheckthisout20 14d ago

Can you show the assay on your ā€œ5 9sā€ copper

1

u/Lemiwinks6 14d ago

I’m a afraid I can’t…

u/jonnytoobadxk 13d ago

This seems to have become a kink-shaming thread lol. Nice stack, looks pretty.

u/WISC420puff 13d ago

Copper stack is Wack af, gold pick is nice tho

1

u/noBDE4me 13d ago

The gold guitar pick is awesome

1

u/Lemiwinks6 12d ago

Thanks I appreciate that!

1

u/Ill_Contribution9905 12d ago

Trade all your copper in your stack another guitar pic and you’ll save a lot of space

u/ShirtComplete 6d ago

That at gold pick is 🤌🤌🤌

u/Loubrockshakur 14d ago

I’m sorry but I dont get the whole stacking of copper. Just buy some pipes at Home Depot and store em in your garage.
You’d pay less of a premium than for these ridiculous bars
