<p>[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 1977854, member: 42034"]I always wondered why 10 g copper ingots at coin shows were top sellers. In Florida 10% of the cents are copper. At 3.11g of 95% copper you can make more than one of those ingots with a single roll. Also at 50 cents per ingot it'd take a long time before copper prices make it economical.</p><p><br /></p><p>However better buy 10 copper ingots than a rare coin from Evil Coin Dealers (ECD's) at 100 - 200% markup (or more).
