The homeless people in my city are also in love with COPPER. That's why none of the street lights in the neighborhood are working. 😐 Thank you for the video.
Based on melt price and a $10,000 investment: Gold = 3.7 oz. Silver = 20 lbs Copper = 3100 lbs (based on $3.15 per pound. Of course, copper bullion is much more costly.) I can put $10,000 of gold in my pocket and run off. I can put 10,000 worth of silver in a backpack and walk away. I’m going NOWHERE with all that copper!
Im a fan of free copper. I scrap stuff in spare time. I also come across lots of computer parts amd just save it all. I alao metal detect for gold along the rivers in montana and found 3 gold rings in parks last summer. Also go theur coin boxes from the bank for free silver. Was an incredible year. 42 40% halves. 8 1964s and 2 walkers. 1 of them looks brand new. Not sure if it was cleaned. 91 merc dimes but 89 of them were in one box because i hit a coin dump awesome. The bank teller told me he found over 400. I got the scraps but super happy anyway. What a once in lifetime box. 4 silver quarters and i think 42 rosie dimes. Had to do something because i stopped buying silver since it went iver $27. Hoping it comes back down once the fake economy crashes
I have quite a few copper rounds and a couple of copper bars in my collection. Rumor has it they will be re-opening and mining in the copper mines here in Michigan. More jobs and more copper is a good thing. I only “stack” US and Canadian pre-1982 Copper one cent/pennies. They’re worth three cents each per coin. The rest of my copper is a collection. Thanks for sharing!
Do love the Germania mint copper bars - those 1kg ones feel great in hand. Also I succumb to buying one of those Lunar Dragon coloured copper rounds and I absolutely love it 👌
The price and premiums of all copper bullion I’ve seen is absolutely ridiculous. Sure, it shines and looks pretty but the price of copper would have to increase tenfold to even break even on it.
People base copper on the derivative market. You can not buy a ton of copper for 3 cents. 1 pound of copper is over 35 dollars. I bought copper bullion at $16 a pound. Half price. Go out and buy a copper pipe or a copper bus bar and see how cheap it is.
When they say “copper is not really worth purchasing”….. That’s when I start purchasing copper. People break in the houses and steal copper pipes. People steal copper off metal transport trucks. Copper is very useful and very valuable in every day life… You never know when copper just may become highly sought after, as silver or gold.
I dont buy copper bullion but I keep all pieces of clean scrap copper I come across and I also keep the pre 1992 bronze 1p & 2p coins as they are 97% copper and the melt value is higher than the coins face value.
There are cracking videos of an Australian melting down bits of old scrap copper into bars and polishing them up. Then he puts in the pile in his garage. Makes you really, really want a furnace for Christmas. Regards All.
I bought a 1 pound copper bar a while back. The premium was high but the price did surge considerably straight after. It was more for the collection than an investment but I bet it will still be worth something in a year or three. If you’re rushing to accumulate as much silver or gold and silver as possible for the sake of profit then fine, but it’s nice to have collector’s pieces to enjoy and hoard like a dragon here and there. The George and the dragon piece is a work of art though. I think the dents add character to it, they give it an aged look, like it’s been kicking around for a few hundred years. Awesome video my friend, thanks ✌🏼❤️🪙
I kinda did the math. If you want to “stack” copper, you need a spool of 5/8” copper cord certified 99.9% because your customers will be smaller copper factories that spin wire and cable and stamp out parts, and that’s what they use. Your customers are not going to be coin collectors on Ebay shipping 10 ounces at a time lol. I think it’s a good plan to stack copper but need to ship it one time only and it would help to have your own flatbed truck and deliver it yourself. At that point you’re into having or leasing warehouse space. I figure having less than $100,000 is not even worth it. I buy COPX COPP and their top 10 holdings. Let those companies sell it and move it around.
Cheers SSS! After this video by Sy I just had to have another couple of go rounds today at it! One went for a proper old style cracked version and the other almost came out great!
I think a lot of people like the bigger bars of metal or large volumes of coins who don't have the funds to buy that much silver. You can scrap coppoer easily so don't need the proof marks or the safey of a coin so you'd be better off going scrapping or buying generic copper pipe and melting it into your own ingots. You would likely get many times the amount for the same price while also being able to scrao it with any scrapyard. Yeah its nice to hold and pretty but why not make the same things with even cheaper metals in that case like steel or bronze?
Been thinking of a copper bar or two, just for the novelty of being able to hold 1kg bullion in the hand. It certainly doesn't look like a gpod investment, but nice to have in the collection nonetheless. Hats off for that Zinc casting !
I purchased some Copper Rounds when I first started stacking, I only purchased 10-1 oz rounds, and that was 3 years ago, I've been wanting to get some Copper Bars, but for no particular reason, I just haven't done it yet, Like your video thou. Keep on Stacking. THE SARGE
And I guarantee you will never ever see an investment on those copper rounds. Copper would have to go to 500.00 a pound just for you to break even😂😂😂😂😂
@@jeanious2009 Can't disagree with this comment! How about keeping copper bullion in mint condition and selling it in the future as an alternative savings account?
In Russia, they don't sell copper in tubes. They sell it individually. And I can't buy copper in tubes from abroad because it will be considered a commercial batch at customs.
Another great money making idea from the powers that be. It's a shame but like most modern economies, they will tax you on anything they can! Thanks for stopping by ES!
Got the lunar dragon and got it for free. Also, I got the copper libertad & American eagle colored ones for free, too. Most of my pre '82 copper lincoln cents basically costed me a single cent. The high relief is amazing, people are going to be asking about it if you leave it on screen on your next videos. They'll be thinking it's silver by the looks of it.
I just starting collecting the copper pennies, and for some of them, I would but the in some hot water with salt and vinegar, just enough to remove that yellowish brown color and expose the almost pinkish copper color.
@@SyTheSoundman Just a follow up, I actually took a few of these washed copper pennies and buffed them a rotary tool and some polishing compound. They look almost as good as brand new pennies.
Since I usually only buy silver, gold, and platinum online and on a fixed budget, I like rounding up (pun intended) my purchase by adding copper rounds and bars to the order. They’re great to give away to my young nieces and nephews fo birthdays, Xmas, etc, and there are some really cool copper pieces out there. And you never know, copper could (COULD) get up there at some point. 😏
The obverse and reverse of the Kennedy round are precise. That's what we do in the states... different from everyone else. You flip it horizontally to maintain the correct orientation. Everyone else makes em so you flip them along the vertical axis. Just flip any US coin, including the Eagle.
Amazing piece by GSH! I love the imperfections makes it look like a buried relic or something 👏👏 I like copper i'll probably buy more of it in the future, it's very affordable even with the premiums. Not an investment but...who knows!
GSH is a legend! What a piece indeed. No one can say for sure whether copper will perform as an investment but if it does, I don't think I will be here when that happens! Cheers Primo!
Some lovely rounds there. I might have to get a couple off you. I do like me some copper. As you said, terrible investment, but so very cool. The GSH pour is stunning! The imperfections give it a cool rustic look!
Cheers CY! Hope you are well. After this video by Sy I just had to have another couple of go rounds today at it! One went for a proper old style cracked version and the other almost came out great!
In large 500g and above, lower premium, great investment, best metal to use to mix into silver or gold to use in general circulation for real money 😊, its is possible, treasures may need to pay in silver or gold for copper.
I got copper in several forms. "Investing" and collecting are two different things. I love to _collect_ Copper, but I wouldn't stack more than a hundred pounds of it. Silver is the best metal play right now, if you ask me
I have 1 copper bar. Bought a knife and the guy gave it to me for free. The reason for pure copper bars it's used in jewelry making and for some reason copper electric wire is not pure enough for jewelry. That's what I was told anyway.
sometimes i see silver rounds that I love the design of and want but since i cant buy every piece of silver that i want I'll get the copper version if available just to have the pretty coin.
Thanks for your kind words. Make sure the wrap isn't split. A cool room is good too. The main thing is to make sure it doesn't oxidise due to being exposed to the air my friend!
I've been refining and pouring bars of copper, polishing to near mirror finish and selling for 7-8x scrap value. So far just 1/2kg and 1kg casts,,, so far. Just started pouring 1,5 and 10oz bars also. There is a market at the moment, whatever the reason for that is. Seriously though, what will be the first metal you NEED in a legit reset event!?
i mainly stack silver bars and solid silver jewelry non gemmed but i have ten 1oz copper bars want to try something new so got em to melt up and try my hand at making a chain and pendant coppers a very cheap way to get into jewelry making and metallurgy
Copper wire and water pipe is 99.9 pure. Easy to identify, weigh, and sell at many scrap metal recyclers. Expect 80-90 cents on the dollar of spot. Hundreds of lbs are thrown away from construction sites all over. Some scrap yards will sell also.
As platinum/gold/silver climb higher people of more modest means often choose copper. Not unwise - if you can get it at the right price. Premiums are very high, though. Buy for collector interest more than investment. As you point out, the wide variety of attractive designs has appeal - whether one is a 2d Amendment supporter or are for legal marijuana use - there's designs for your cause.
It's a sales gimmick. Copper IS really a beautiful metal, and the bars and rounds are spectacular looking. Just not valuable or something to stack. One would have to have their garage stacked full to the ceiling with copper to make any significant gain on a price spike. Or just a tube of gold in the safe by comparison. It isn't practical OR an investment. But they're pretty enough that some people buy them. I was under the porch on my new place fixing up a bit, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a coin capsule with that familiar glow. Immediately I thought "Krugerrand!!!!!!!!!" Dang copper round.
i collect scrap copper, never bullion.. to high of a premium, u can find this stuff everywhere so i cant justify paying the premium for copper bullion.
Totally understand your thinking. Some premiums are horrendous. Having a couple of collectibles can be a nice thing. It's never going to be gold or silver but sometimes a really nice copper round comes to market.
Absolutely… old UK, US, Canadian, and other pennies/cents can be had for melt price or less. Copper rounds and bars are for suckers. 11 quid for that round is total bollocks. Could’ve had a sockful of copper pennies for that price.
Apart from my Cardiff gold 5kg bar I’ll buy copper bars at £10-12 kg all day long. It has beauty and utility but premiums are high. If your willing to hold I don’t think you’ll lose any money!
Really good comment. I also think if you keep the high premium bars or rounds in perfect condition, you will get back what you paid if you wanted to sell.
If you guys want to stack something cheap. Just stack nickels. They will have to stop making them someday. I think before the decade is up. We have sent so many weapons to Ukraine we are going to need to re stockpile and nickel will explode in a couple years. And copper will also. All these massive GPU AI processing facilities the massive companies want to do are insane. Our power bills are going to explode. If google sais its building a 100,000 GPU plant. I believe thats as much electricity as a city of 400,000 people use. Were screwed as far as power bills go in a few years and they will need so much copper
They are a lovely thing to own for sure! Yes, GSH is doing great things and I love his work. I want to be first in the queue for when he releases his first silver pour!
I bought three 5 LB . copper bars from " Provident Metals " April 2012 . I don't need the money now ( I stack silver ) and I like em . Hay , one day I'll sell em .
I never buy copper bullion. The premiums are ridiculous. the cheapest I can find rounds at is $1.25. Melt is $4.37 a pound so I should be able to buy 16 ADVP rounds for less than $5. The premiums put a pound of copper rounds at $20 which is more than a 500% premium. The only way I buy copper is in pennies. Copper pennies weigh 3.11 grams and I can buy 5000 copper pennies for about $90. That is about 35 pounds for $90 at that price I pay about $2.60 a pound which is far below melt at $4.37 a pound.
Copper world market cap.. then you have all the fundamental future plans with use of copper. The copper futures charts look promising.. i dc what anybody says. People will be speaking on how they missed out, moving forward.
There was a recent prophecy saying copper is going to be valuable in the very near future and to save your old copper pennies. If God says it then its inevitable. I've collected around 2000 ounces of copper bullion and silver. Praise God!
@@SyTheSoundman Been trying to find it on Google but either it isn't been sold anymore or I was typing in the wrong words in a Google search. It is a very nice clock. Wish I had something like it. Bet it cost a lot of money too.
I work where they sell copper wire. Why buy this premium copper bullion when you could spend a few thousand dollars on a big roll of copper wire and if needed you could cut whatever amount you want off of it when needed for trade? I was seriously looking at the 500 foot roll of 2 aught braided wire. Get a shed and stack up reels of it.
A really good point well made. Preppers will 100% agree with you as would some investors. When people buy collectable copper coins or rounds, they tend to buy just one and don't really stack. Thanks for your comment my friend!
Copper is not worth it ,I know first hand because I done roofing and we scrap all our unwanted cuts of copper ,you’ve got to give a ton to receive a little back
I am a licensed master plumber and pipefitter who owns a mechanical engineering contracting business for 45 + years. I have a large barn full of clean copper and brass pipe and valves. I estimate I have over 110 tons safely stored away. 110 tos × 2000lbs. a ton = 220,000lbs × price per LB. ANY guesses how much my copper is worth.
Nickels are the real copper bullion. 75%copper 25% nickel and they can be purchased AT SPOT WITH NO PREMIUM from any bank. And even if the copper price tanks they will be worth 5 cents no matter what. But if the copper price soars they will be like pre-82 pennies.

i mainly stack silver bars and solid silver jewelry non gemmed but i have ten 1oz copper bars want to try something new so got em to melt up and try my hand at making a chain and pendant coppers a very cheap way to get into jewelry making and metallurgy
Copper wire and water pipe is 99.9 pure. Easy to identify, weigh, and sell at many scrap metal recyclers. Expect 80-90 cents on the dollar of spot. Hundreds of lbs are thrown away from construction sites all over. Some scrap yards will sell also.
been collecting it since I was knee high to a grasshopper. 😁
Just go to your local metal scrap yard and buy copper cable for 5 bucks a pound!
Where can i buy copper?
Depends on which form of copper you prefer!
great video - i’m stacking the pre 1992 two pences for the bronze element
How much does it cost to buy from USA?
What in particular my friend?
As platinum/gold/silver climb higher people of more modest means often choose copper.
Not unwise - if you can get it at the right price.
Premiums are very high, though. Buy for collector interest more than investment.
As you point out, the wide variety of attractive designs has appeal - whether one is a 2d Amendment supporter or are for legal marijuana use - there's designs for your cause.
I like most the stuff that germania mint makes that bar looks great. I collect copper wire but i dont know if thats pure 999
It's a sales gimmick. Copper IS really a beautiful metal, and the bars and rounds are spectacular looking. Just not valuable or something to stack. One would have to have their garage stacked full to the ceiling with copper to make any significant gain on a price spike. Or just a tube of gold in the safe by comparison. It isn't practical OR an investment. But they're pretty enough that some people buy them. I was under the porch on my new place fixing up a bit, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a coin capsule with that familiar glow. Immediately I thought "Krugerrand!!!!!!!!!" Dang copper round.
Exactly. Want profits? Buy copper mining companies, not the metal FFS.
@@AmericanBulldogFit Yep. Stock instead of bullion. Copper is a depleting resource, with big industrial use.
Completely agree with this fabulous comment. Copper is a "buy what you like" thing for me personally. Shame about the Krugerrand, I really felt that 😂
I would handle those with gloves on, the oil on your skin will start to turn them a darker color over time.
i collect scrap copper, never bullion.. to high of a premium, u can find this stuff everywhere so i cant justify paying the premium for copper bullion.
Totally understand your thinking. Some premiums are horrendous. Having a couple of collectibles can be a nice thing. It's never going to be gold or silver but sometimes a really nice copper round comes to market.
Those are some beautiful copper rounds! Really. [smile]
It's the next silver after it gets priced to the moon. Also, copper rounds are at a price that's fun to buy and collect
Pennies sir... old pennys have a ton of copper.
Absolutely… old UK, US, Canadian, and other pennies/cents can be had for melt price or less. Copper rounds and bars are for suckers. 11 quid for that round is total bollocks. Could’ve had a sockful of copper pennies for that price.
Can't disagree with this comment!
Apart from my Cardiff gold 5kg bar I’ll buy copper bars at £10-12 kg all day long. It has beauty and utility but premiums are high. If your willing to hold I don’t think you’ll lose any money!
Really good comment. I also think if you keep the high premium bars or rounds in perfect condition, you will get back what you paid if you wanted to sell.
i’m up to about 20 lbs of copper from picking pre 1982 pennies in bank boxes…
Jesus! 8k in on day! Great work Sy.
I know right! I guess copper is a hot topic! Thanks mate and thanks for watching!
Copper- the new silver. Watch and learn
About 13 years ago i got a monster box of some copper rounds to use as poker chips lol Most of them are very tarnished at this point.
Copper is great. Glad you've come to your senses 😂 ☺️
I have way too much now!
One way to think about these is that they are art bars and rounds. Treat them as you would in buying art, for enjoyment of display and sharing.
@@farqs6070 yes I agree with this comment!
like art huh... so a money laundering scam?
I Like it , it's way over priced , but now and then I can afford to buy some :) QC
If you guys want to stack something cheap. Just stack nickels. They will have to stop making them someday. I think before the decade is up. We have sent so many weapons to Ukraine we are going to need to re stockpile and nickel will explode in a couple years. And copper will also. All these massive GPU AI processing facilities the massive companies want to do are insane. Our power bills are going to explode. If google sais its building a 100,000 GPU plant. I believe thats as much electricity as a city of 400,000 people use. Were screwed as far as power bills go in a few years and they will need so much copper
Love them, as soon as i saw that you listed them on Stackers, i had to have some of them, GSH is getting there. he be casting silver soon
They are a lovely thing to own for sure! Yes, GSH is doing great things and I love his work. I want to be first in the queue for when he releases his first silver pour!
Still a long way to catch up to some I could mention : )
I bought three 5 LB . copper bars from " Provident Metals " April 2012 . I don't need the money now ( I stack silver ) and I like em . Hay , one day I'll sell em .
@@monkeyman4131 It's definitely a case of buying what you like with copper. That's about where it stops for me anyway!
I never buy copper bullion. The premiums are ridiculous. the cheapest I can find rounds at is $1.25. Melt is $4.37 a pound so I should be able to buy 16 ADVP rounds for less than $5. The premiums put a pound of copper rounds at $20 which is more than a 500% premium. The only way I buy copper is in pennies. Copper pennies weigh 3.11 grams and I can buy 5000 copper pennies for about $90. That is about 35 pounds for $90 at that price I pay about $2.60 a pound which is far below melt at $4.37 a pound.
@@bobsacamano7653 Great points here. I am seeing a lot of comments about buying rolls of pennies. Very interesting!
Paying 2 to 3 bucks for an ounce of copper is only 32 to 48 bucks a pound
A pound of copper is $4
copper will go to $20 per oz---someday
Copper world market cap.. then you have all the fundamental future plans with use of copper. The copper futures charts look promising.. i dc what anybody says. People will be speaking on how they missed out, moving forward.
Find electrical bus bars if you want copper.
Are they as nice as copper coins, rounds and bars though?
There was a recent prophecy saying copper is going to be valuable in the very near future and to save your old copper pennies. If God says it then its inevitable. I've collected around 2000 ounces of copper bullion and silver. Praise God!
it looks 500 years old. rub some mud into it.
That stopwatch clock is very nice. If you don't mind can you tell me where you bought it from?
Great video btw.
@@daviniarobbins9298 It was from a shop in Gretna, Scotland. I cannot remember the name of it!
@@SyTheSoundman Been trying to find it on Google but either it isn't been sold anymore or I was typing in the wrong words in a Google search.
It is a very nice clock. Wish I had something like it. Bet it cost a lot of money too.
Amazing by GSH!
Its alright : )
wouldn't it be a better investment to go to your local building store and buy a bunch of copper pipes and store them in your basement ?
“I wasn’t drunk when i bought these”! 😂🍻
😂
i want tin bullion 😃
I own copper coins. Lots of them. They denominated in 0.02 GBP otherwise known as 2p.
Like #296!! Great video mate!
Thank you as always mate!
That 2oz Aztec is AMAZING!!
Yeah, it blew my mind to be fair my friend! Thanks for stopping by WMW!
I work where they sell copper wire. Why buy this premium copper bullion when you could spend a few thousand dollars on a big roll of copper wire and if needed you could cut whatever amount you want off of it when needed for trade? I was seriously looking at the 500 foot roll of 2 aught braided wire. Get a shed and stack up reels of it.
A really good point well made. Preppers will 100% agree with you as would some investors. When people buy collectable copper coins or rounds, they tend to buy just one and don't really stack. Thanks for your comment my friend!
Copper is not worth it ,I know first hand because I done roofing and we scrap all our unwanted cuts of copper ,you’ve got to give a ton to receive a little back
They do look lovely , and you never know
Agree and agree!
I am a licensed master plumber and pipefitter who owns a mechanical engineering contracting business for 45 + years. I have a large barn full of clean copper and brass pipe and valves. I estimate I have over 110 tons safely stored away. 110 tos × 2000lbs. a ton = 220,000lbs × price per LB. ANY guesses how much my copper is worth.
Nickels are the real copper bullion. 75%copper 25% nickel and they can be purchased AT SPOT WITH NO PREMIUM from any bank. And even if the copper price tanks they will be worth 5 cents no matter what. But if the copper price soars they will be like pre-82 pennies.
It's going to come into it's own one day I think
@@Jumpingintosilver No one can argue against this Jumping. Who knows what's going to happen in the future?
I didn’t see any Freedom Girl rounds in your copper collection.
I have seen these in silver but not in copper!
@@SyTheSoundman they’re part of the Silver Shield collection from Golden State Mint.
Available in silver, copper, and every few years they make some in gold.
@@ordinaryman1904 Good to know, I will keep an eye out! Thanks for the heads up
I buy it because it's beautiful and it fun to have I have 226oz of copper bullion it fun to hold and look at
wow GSH you Legend!
Seconded. What a piece eh?
Cheers Nerd!
The best way to get copper coins is in your penny's 97% copper and no cost before 1991 all copper 1992 on all steel
