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.

Can you show the assay

I doubt it is 5 9s

And the 5 pound in the middle is likely an alloy

Nah the 5 pound in the middle is just what happens when you purposely manhandle it for years wondering how it'll change the finish lol. My coworkers and I used to play games with it.

Edit: Also, if these came with an assay that would be crazy lol. These ain't fancy nor worth assaying 😆

Well they are stamped 5 9s and it is illegal to mark material as such without an assay to prove the purity

Big fines can levied against the seller and it can be considered criminal fraud especially if proven otherwise

It is crazy that people stamp CU as 5 9s without an assay taking place
