<p>[QUOTE="harbinger, post: 1994141, member: 72286"]While the price of copper might rise, it would be very surprising to see it pass silver. It is simply a calculation of the relative rarity of the two metals. This doesn't mean that copper is a bad investment though. As inflation drives the dollar value of silver and gold, copper's value should also increase and serve as a similar hedge against inflation. There are two easy ways to find copper in your loose change: pre-1982 pennies and current nickels. Nickels are actually the last coin still being minted for circulation with a significant amount of valuable metal. The copper value in these coins currently surpasses the face value. At some point in the future these may be traded at copper value similar to the way pre-1964 quarters and dimes are now sold for roughly 25 times face value on ebay and at coin shops.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
