<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 5269573, member: 27832&quot;]Heh. In one mixed lot I bought on eBay years ago, there were five one-GRAM copper bars -- in a baggie, with a receipt. At some point, someone purchased a set of six of them from Property Room Police Auctions Online -- for $10.00, plus $7.95 S&amp;H, plus 70 cents tax. <b>$3.11 per gram</b>, for <b>copper</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The price of copper was bouncing around four dollars or so at that time... <i>per pound</i>. That&#039;s less than one cent per gram. 300 times melt value? That&#039;s getting into 1916-D dime territory!</p><p><br /></p><p>I made a profit on the other stuff in the lot, so I&#039;m in them for zero. I&#039;ve been trying to decide what to do with them. I think the receipt probably has more collector value than the bars. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
