<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1500322, member: 37498&quot;]As others have pointed out, the copper bullion coins are not a good investment.&nbsp; There are two good reasons for this:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Copper is not a precious metal.</p><p>2. The copper bullion coins carry a huge premium that you will likely not be able to recover when you sell them.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you want to buy any sort of metal for an investment, then you want to find a way to buy that metal as close as possible to it&#039;s melt value.&nbsp; If you want to stock up on copper, then the best way to do that right now is to buy pennies because the copper contained in pre-1982 pennies is worth more than face value.&nbsp; True, you cannot legally melt them down for their copper, but someday...&nbsp; In the meantime, they are worth at least $0.01, but it isn&#039;t too hard to find people who are willing to pay $0.015 or $0.02 for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a way to get them in bulk, Canadian pennies are even better.&nbsp; They were making them with 98% copper through 1996.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had you used the word &quot;collecting&quot; instead of &quot;investing&quot;, I&#039;d say if you like them and they are worth the price, then I&#039;d say go for it.&nbsp; But don&#039;t buy them for their copper content as an investment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
