<p>[QUOTE="passantgardant, post: 1142622, member: 30033"]I concur, pre-82 pennies are cheaper than bullion. The problem is if you want to build an immediate hoard of significant size, slowly collecting pennies won't work. Copper bullion coins or bars are too expensive. The thing is, while copper will always have value and track inflation, it will never achieve the kind of mania pricing that gold and silver will. Also, as was mentioned before, to collect any significant value of copper would require a lot of storage space. I think the most useful form of copper is either 1/2" or 3/4" copper water pipe or #10 or #12 copper wire. Then it's in a form that is readily salable (not just to collectors, but to plumbers and electricians) and will tend to track inflation well. It also carries a premium to the copper price in that form which should carry forward with inflation as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
