Copper Bullions

[LemmyMcGregor]

Are you guys aware of any cheap copper bullion about?

I made a display on my bookshelf with my first Silver Britannia, first Half Crown and a lovely Lira which Dakaras provided, I was thinking about getting a couple of copper bullions to add to the display, however, I feel like most asking prices are exaggerated, it is a novelty item in the end and the copper value is nearly nill in a 1oz coin... seen them about for £6/7, looks like in the US they do them way cheaper, but again, then you have shipping, any info would be appreciated.

Ps. I could be tempted to make an exception and thrown some money at The Ginger Ingot 🤣

Ok, now, are you aware of any copper coin?

Obviously not anything ancient, I'm talking about 1oz coins.

Managed to find a lucky ebay auction, thanks all for the contribution for my copper rounds

Here is my copper coin

I'd never seen one of these before, until it was given to me by a gold dealer in the U.S.!  Not sure what its worth though - useful to a plumber maybe? 😃

[LemmyMcGregor]

They go on eBay and Etsy for prices in between £5.00 and £10.00.

I haven't looked much into it since because they really are worthy only as collectables, in my case I grew up with D&D and then turned to WoW, I have the Gold, I have the Silver, just needed some Copper coins too. States side you can find them cheaper, this side not as much.

I got one of these. It was a free gift when I bought some silver from a seller. Not a great looking coin but it's the only copper round I have.

 

There was a time when some people collected copper 1p and 2p because they worth more in metal value. All copper pennies have since been taken out of circulation and replaced with some cheap metal ( with steel I believe). But you missed the boat if you're into this kind of thing !

Many stackers think that gold and silver is real money. And I agree, especially gold and silver coins. The coin form is associated with money is people’s minds, and is conducive to trade and exchange. But are copper coins real money? Can they perhaps be used as small change in barter trades?

I've seen these copper bars going on Ebay for about 30 quid.  The vendor claims .99999 fine copper, which may explain some of the price premium, given that the spot price for copper is about $8 USD per kilo.  Otherwise, this seems like quite a hefty premium.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193397998261

Larger copper bars still seem to go around the 20kg/kilo mark, presumably not for .99999 fine copper.

I did briefly think of buying 100kg of copper to weigh down a safe but that's about £2-3 grand in copper at prices an ordinary schleb like me has access to.  Maybe one could pack it in monster boxes and potentially preserve some of its value as bullion, but the liquidity looks like it would be even harder to get one's money back out of it than silver.

I might buy a couple of 1kg bars for ***** and giggles, though.

I bought a few tubes of Lakota copper rounds for £1 each, I can't remember the name of the place but it's defunct now, I saw them selling for £4 upwards on Ebay and they were actually selling so I thought I would never lose on them if I ever decided to sell.

 

I also bought 5 each of the Four Horsemen series in copper which were about £4 each at the time and they are all listed for much more on Ebay now, not sure if they are actually selling though, there is one of them has gone silly money, again I can't remember which one.

Here's a nice 5kg bar. Must be a new design as I've got the previous 5kg bar they sold which I bought when we were in the EU. Wouldn't mind getting this but I'd have to ask them about postage to the UK which probably isn't too good these days.
