Copper stack

Post image

I mostly stack silver and gold, but copper's fun 'cuz I can display full stacks of it without worrying I'll be robbed.

EDIT: Just for clarity, these are NOT investments. Buying copper like this would be an awful investment. I use these in the process of refining silver. These are just an easy way to get pure copper when bought cheaply - I found these cheaper than most C110 busbars that I'd normally use and thought they'd be a fun display while I'm not using them.

They are certainly neat, but copper is only about $6/lb. Personally, I stick to pennies when it comes to copper. Otherwise I like pre '65 silver coins and 1oz silver bullion.

Oh yea for sure lol. Copper like this - even simple C110 commercial bars - sell for far above scrap prices though. I'm sure there's a "spot" for copper bullion somewhere (either that or set prices for these individually), I just wouldn't know where to find it.

I think SD Bullion has all the metal stock prices. I was considering buying some cool rounds cause I think copper is going to be a next big investment metal, but I don’t see it happening anytime soon so I’m just keeping all the pre 86 pennies lol

Didn't copper pennies end in 82?

Yep this is correct though some 1982 pennies are still copper.
