<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1450896, member: 37498&quot;]...and as many people have already said, pennies are the way to go if you want copper.&nbsp; You seem to be leaning towards bullion bars because you can get <b>closer</b> to spot than with rounds, but you&#039;re still close to 2x <b>over</b> spot.&nbsp; Pre-1982 pennies are already priced well <b>under</b> spot, and you don&#039;t have to pay shipping.&nbsp; You just go to the bank and buy a $25 box of pennies.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m finding about 12-15% copper pennies in the boxes I&#039;m getting right now.&nbsp; Sadly, I haven&#039;t found too many wheats and not a single Indian Head Cent yet, but I&#039;ve only done three boxes so far.&nbsp; My kids love doing them.&nbsp; It takes the four of us about 15-20 minutes to sort through a box.&nbsp; A one gallon jar for pre-1982&#039;s, a smaller jar for 1982&#039;s (to be sorted later), a smaller yet jar for Canadians, a plastic coinsafe tube for the wheats, and the bank box for the post-1982&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Considering one of the main principles of investing is &quot;Buy low, sell high&quot;, copper bullion seems like the wrong choice, unless you&#039;re the one making them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if you just want the bullion bars because you want something that has a good heavy feel in your hand and is shiny, then go for it!&nbsp; Just know that the probability of actually making money on them as a consumer is virtually zero.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
