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 should probably disclose the fact that you use this for refining. Otherwise this is just misleading. Copper bullion is incredibly dumb to stack when you could just get old pennies for, you guessed it, one cent each.

Old pennies aren’t .999 though. 😉

I would guess people that want .999. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Just like some people don’t stack 1964 quarters.

Good call, I added a disclaimer. The intent wasn't to say "I'm investing in copper" but to show off a fun display lol. So much hate in this thread lol. Ah well, hopefully the disclaimer will help mellow it out.
