Copper bullion?

Is copper bullion a good investment or is it a waste of time?

this one seems like a good price (kinda);

Copper will not be "bullion" worthy until it's priced in ounces, instead of pounds.

 

Save pre 82 cents, but other than that, do not invest in copper.

 

Okay. And i'm guessing Titanium, nickel, and zirconium arent very good investments either?

 

Only pre 82 (and some 82s - if you can tell the difference).

 

Industrial metals are horrible bullion investments, mostly because there's no associated rarity. If you need nickel, buy Canadian 5-cent pieces. They're 99% nickel or something. Titanium's value is primarily in it's ability to withstand abuse coupled with being light. It doesn't make sense to store blocks of it.

 

Okay. Thank you

 

No, because you will never get the full amount of value when going to sell.

 

But you shouldn't be paying the full value when you buy either.

They are ok if you have a lot of space to store them and buy them at reasonable prices.

Pre-82 pennies are the best investment right now as far as base metals go in my opinion since you can get them far below melt value.

Don't buy the retail crap, .99 per oz is almost $16 per pound, copper is worth about $3.30 a pound right now.

I mean if you want to buy a few for the heck of it, ok. But as an investment, no.

 

i think they look cool and mimic the designs of old coinage but bigger so if you have a favirote type there prolly a copper round for it

 

If they sold it in 100 pound blocks, maybe. Probably not even then. One ounce rounds? lol no.

But yes, it might be worthwhile to sort pennies.

 

Invest in copper bullion? No way! However, I do buy rounds that I like, but that's solely on a collectible stand point. That being the case, Provident Metals do sell some nice rounds and they're quite cheap. When I order from the site, I usually add a few dollars worth of copper rounds. I really like the Lakota rounds.

 

Yeah, i do put all the pre-82 pennies aside when i search those.

And i might just get a few of the mercury dime one ounce copper rounds to have for collection but now i know not to get the 20 of them i had planned before.

 

wile your at it get the mercury dime 1oz round hopefull the us mint dosent "steal" this design

 

WTF? The mint already used that design for dimes many years ago!

 

what i meant was like how the ase isent orginal. there was a silver company that was using the walker design as a replica type round. when out of nowhere the mint took the replica design turned it into the ase's and made the silver company stop production . thats why i have the word steal in parentheses

 

i may be wrong with my above statment im reaserching it now

my coin dealer told me that

 

I can save you a little time. Take a look at the design of the Walking Liberty Half Dollar.

 

walkers are my favorite design

im talking about a walker replica silver round that the goverment made the silver company stop making so the mint could make ase

 

My favorite design on rounds would be the ASE.

my favorite design on the bars would be the Pamp Suisse.
