WVU Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 How is anyone buying copper rounds or bars? The trade price is $2.11 per pound, yet the cheapest bars I can find are about $7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milwaukee mike Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 copper is a silly thing... when copper was over $4/lb then pre-1982 pennies were worth over 3 cents so then it became illegal to melt your own money, shows you that not only do we not own our body (suicide illegal), we don't own our land (try not paying taxes on it), we don't even own our own fucking money!

Brick Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Old man on the show "pawn stars" buys buckets and buckets of pennies hoping some day the gov will let people melt them down. have a buddy that used to be in the hvac field and he would fill up a couple 5 gallon buckets a year of scrap and get a few hundy per bucket. space would probably really be an issue if you started collecting wvu.
