<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1393190, member: 22143&quot;]Spot price is what it would cost to have a futures contract delivered today.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anything smaller amount is going to cost more.&nbsp; Thus, in order to get your &quot;bullion&quot; at spot price, you would need to be purchasing 25,000 pounds of copper.&nbsp; &nbsp; Small user friendly amounts of copper in pretty bars or coins is going to have a significant premium relative to cost because the labor to make it, along with all the other costs is much much higher than the worth of the underlying metal.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is why the notion of copper &quot;bullion&quot; is really just a notion.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I were you I would stick to collecting pennies 1981 and earlier.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are copper 1982 pennies, but the effort to sort these from the 1982 zinc pennies is not worth it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
