I see no "...by a moderator" on the edit note. It's kind of bad form to back-quote someone after they've thought better of what they said, IMHO.
But what could be more universally useful than the venerable one-cent coin? Oh. Yeah. Um. :rolleyes:
Note, though, that he also had "an old farm". Yeah, it gives you a place to store your metal, but it's also real estate... ;)
As far as using copper to speculate or store value -- I look at the "nice suit" argument that gold bugs use all the time ("an ounce bought a nice...
