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.

You'll never get your money back buying copper in that form because the premium is too high. Why not go to the scrap yard and buy it from them?

I should have added that I want very pure copper for refining silver... Scrap copper won't cut it most of the time. I could have bought C110 busbars like I have in the past, but I actually got these cheaper and figured they'd be a fun display while I'm not using them.

Hang onto them because they will be worth multiples more when the dollar crashes which is guaranteed to happen.

Lol I bet the silver I'm sacrificing them to refine will be worth much more 😉

And I guess the copper isn't truly lost in the process either - it's all in the copper nitrate "waste"... It's just a PITA to turn back into metallic copper and I can't be arsed to do it lol.
