http://cgi.ebay.com/2011-999-Fine-1...241?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5643b372b9 The seller is charging $5.95 + shipping for a piece of copper worth... just over 26 cents.
Or you can buy a roll of twenty at a better price: http://shop.thecopperexchange.net/1-One-Roll-20-One-Ounce-Copper-Bullion-Coins_c4.htm
They may be priced at extremely high premiums, but they are still pretty. And no matter how much it's worth in copper, 6 dollars is not a lot of money.
Why would someone pay that much for a small hunk of copper when you can get a genuine gold plated silver bar from one of the home shopping channels with a royal wedding theme? The gold plating alone must be worth 10 or 15 cents and something like that is bound to be treasured by generations to come. I even think it is a limited edition. That is, they will only make as many as they can sell before the hoopla dies down.
