Do any bullion dealers have Nickel?

I don't like that metal and have been buying lots of .999 nickel coins from the pre-Euro era Europe.

Which coins are pure nickel? Heaps of copper-nickel types, but pure nickel?

Pre 82 Canadian nickels are 99.9 % nickel.

 

But not European.

 

I apologize. Basically I was saying many dealers offer copper, but not nickel. Which is strange because it's always been worth more.

I have been purchasing many .999 nickel coins from Europe (Dutch Guilders, from 10 cent to 5G and some French Francs) but would like to expand my collections to include "bars" of solid nickel instead of pocket change type stuff.

That's the main point of this post.

I'm looking for bars of nickel. Sorry if my post didn't make sense. Basically nickel bullion items, and not for huge premiums either.

Actually, many Dutch and French coins are .999 nickel (1960's-2001). The information is out there. But I was just saying that I want my collections to include bars instead of coins. That's why I initially posted this.

 

If you are looking for small bars of common metals ( non-precious), you will be paying a premium as small bars of copper, nickel, etc. are made specially for collectors. If you want larger bars, the term is not bullion , but ingots, intended for manufacturing ( even coinage). Search for nickel ingots comes up with several ( mostly non-US companies.

Okay, I'll try that and see if more results come up across the internet.

Get there with a shovel.

 

I have a titanium brace and screws in my neck. My X-rays look like Frankensteins. It has not had any affect on me. It has not had any affect on me. It has not had any affect....

 

You could always try buying a bunch of nickel shot and making your own bars.

Well I never thought I'd see a thread like this but hey I saw a leprechaun riding a unicorn chasing a flying pig the other day so I guess anything's possible

Seriously though, I'm not trying to disparage you op, just never heard of someone wanting to hoard nickel ingot bars before

 

Edit: double post

 

People buy copper bars, and hoard pennies. I totally don't view copper as being any sort of an investment. Each to their own I guess.

And I'm not one of those "ride the horse for a week and sell off" type person. I'm only 23 and have a long time ahead of me. I could hold onto everything until I retire. No one knows where nickel is going to be in 30-40 years. Heck, from here it could continue dropping towards $1.00 / pound, or it could go back up to $25 or even $30 / pound. (in 2007 it was $25 / pound)

 

Do you know where it was 30-40yrs ago?

 

Cheaper than now. But still, there are spikes, there are dips, there are in-betweens.

In the late 80's it was $9-$10 / pound. And that was when the USD was stronger than today. Adjust to inflation and that makes it look better. I currently can't find any 1970's base metal charts available on sites I frequent but I could look more if I wanted.

Nickel silver is also known as, white copper, German Silver, Alpaca etc. There's beautiful Alpaca silver jewelry that comes from Mexico but it's usually stamped 'Alpaca' and sold for a lot cheaper than the real deal. As far as your question goes, I just hope you do your homework on your investment as you may be better off just waiting until you have enough cash flow to start buying junk silver or American Silver Eagle Coins. good luck
