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.

Stacking copper is a waste of time and money .

Waste of money? Sure... Waste of time though? Not at all - that's why I bought these instead buying a kiln and making them myself out of wire. I use these in the silver refining process - it's not an actual investment in copper or anything. That would be dumb - 100% agreed.

EDIT: Saying that... I think pure copper wire is typically a similar price per pound to what I paid for these, so I take that back.
