Time to Hoard Copper Pennies? Each Penny Worth OVER 3¢ NOW 👀
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 05. 2024
- In this video I talk about hoarding copper pennies and copper price. Copper price has gone up significantly over the past few months and recently hit an all time high. Copper Pennies from 1981 and earlier are made out of 95% copper and 5% zinc so is it a good idea to hoard copper pennies right now? I bring up the actual melt value of a copper penny and I also talk about the legality of melting down pennies. Modern pennies are made out of zinc and not worth much. I also talk about how you might be able to use copper pennies for barter in the future and how the price of copper in 2024 and beyond can continue to climb. The price of copper can climb much higher than it is right now and with each copper penny being worth about 3 cents I think its a good idea to be hoarding them right now. There are some types of copper such as copper rounds and copper bars that I do not recommend stacking right now. When it comes to stacking copper I prefer copper wire and copper cents. Do you think it is a good idea to be hoarding copper pennies?

Way ahead of the game. I've been throwing all the copper cents into a 5 gallon jug for decades. It's got to weigh around 250lbs now! It's completely full.
🤣
The good news is no one's gonna steal that from you! The bad news is you'll have to leave it behind if you need to bug out in a hurry.
I’d be going through it one penny at a time to look for the holy grail of pennies.
@@tedledford4350 I intend to if I can ever find the time! That's a lot to search through!
Thank you for calling them cents and not pennies
Work tossed out a couple hundred pounds of copper wire. Removed it from the trash and loaded it straight into my car.
Ding ding ding, winner winner. You'd need to spend 1000 hours picking through 50,000 rolls of pennies to get 200 pounds of copper. This guy gets copper scrapping.
Was it really trash pile? Or did you assume it was trash pile and just stole from their scrap pile? It's hard for me to believe a business would NOT be aware of scrap value
@@marshallusk1000you be amazed. When I was an electrical apprentice I basically made another weeks pay a month in scraping
Where do ya work...
I used to not waste any energy picking up anything under a quarter since stacking silver that has changed. I now collect pennies and separate the copper ones. I work at a store and get about 50 cents a day off the floor in change. I save the change and when it adds up I buy a ounce of silver it has turned into a game and is fun.
I'm a gas station cashier and I do the same.
Smart
Been doing this for 45 years. Welcome to the party, you new "kids" get to bring the beer. 🍻🍻🍻
And then what? 👀 you go to a scrap yard with it?
Me too -- i started by pulling wheaties out at my parents' restaurant in 1955, then started pulling out the 1981 and earlier cents in 1982.
This is the kind of stupidity that cost tax payers big money. About 3 years ago the US government spent $9 million dollars to make $1 million dollars in pennies because the banks were running out of them. Now you know why. Idiots are hoarding them. Silver Dragon says they are worth 3 cents but we pay 9 cents to make them. Stick with silver.
@@JFEnterprize The coins are basically trade units like old silver coins are. Never go to a scrap yard with them.
@@JFEnterprize That's one possibility. Depends on where you live.
I been hoarding copper pennies and nickels. I put them in a big water jug. During hyperinflation we'll be glad we did. Thanks Silver Dragons
People tend give me a weird look when I tell them that I have been collecting the copper pennies and nickels
I can relate lol, I have a 3 Litre Whiskey Bottle full of these pennies for penny pushers. Glad to know I'm in the money!
Are All pennies made of Copper ??
Yes!! That’s awesome!
🧐 But I have to ask separate jugs?? Or are they mixed 😆 I must know lol
@@biglon763 No. Pre 1982
It’s economies of scale. You simply cannot hold enough to make a difference.
Spot on comment!
Unless there's a total collapse of the economy and then they'll be used in barter.. When I was a kid, you could buy a large Hershey bar with almonds for 5 copper pennies.. Now they cost about $1.25.. That time will come again.. Check the debt, almost $35T.. We're at the end of the Tytler Cycle.. When the debt falls in on us it's going to destroy the government and the Union.. We're going to start from scratch again.. This Union will be balkanized.. Who knows what will be the value of a copper penny..
As an electrician please copper don't go up My customers already don't like the price of rewires.
Better buy now then for tomorrows jobs. 🎉😂❤ my old boss had this in the decades past. Can only hope your jobs start late and out of the contract date range so you can reprice it
I read how people go into empty homes and strip all the copper. Then they called the coppers.
tell them they cheaper than gold cable rewire wires.
For a few years when copper got scarce back in 1970s they began switching new home wiring to aluminum. Maybe we will see that happen again?
They don't like your hourly rates is the problem.. not materials prices.
The reason 1 cent is worth 3 cents is 3 cents is now only worth what 1 cent was.
Hi all Silver Stacker, all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦.
You guys got some interesting politics going on these days 🎉
Love South African's! Welcome! Rich gold and silver history from SA!
@JFEnterprize dude, you guys could have a convicted crim running yr country again. Every country has crazy politics when compared.
@@ianwilkinson3425 🤡
Hello friend! Greetings!
Can't imagine the amount of space and work it would take to stack up enough to make it worthwhile.
Word!
😂
It's never worthwhile. NEVER. If you want free copper you can pick pounds at a time from old motors and appliances. Added bonus? The copper you find here won't land you in jail to melt it.
Look at it this way. If a copper cent is worth 3 cents in reality than a 25 dollar box would be worth 75 bucks. A box of pennies isnt that big. Id allow a stack of 75 dollar boxes to sit around in a corner somewhere. You could probably fit 4 boxes under your kitchen sink.
Way ahead of the game on that one. Been taking pre 1982 pennies out of circulation for about 10 years now.
@@ulexite-tv Wow, you must have a pile as high as a mountain.
Who will buy them though?
@@leeroyjenkins3677 LCS should buy them, but some don't like dealing with pennies unless they're Flying Eagles, Indian heads, or a rare Lincoln wheat with an error or specific date and mint. I'm lucky enough where one of my LCS buys and sells wheats so just gotta do your research first.
@@leeroyjenkins3677 Ah, who cares? I ain't selling. Just fill my coffin full of them all around my body and give some archaeologist a thrill and a half a thousand years from now.
. My LCS buys them at 2 cents.
I just put a bunch of scrap copper at the curb. It was gone within a half an hour. I guess I should have made the trip to the recycler myself, but I'm lazy and that place is schetchy. My grandfather would be shaking his head. He collected cans for the aluminum 30 years ago and would sometimes take me along. He is the one who got me into silver.
What kind of copper was it? 👀
I think you effed up there. 🤷
Does the recycler recycle copper pennies?
You gave money away😂
🤦🏼♂️
I keep my cooper in the form of plumbing/hvac fittings and piping. Being useful makes them worth many times over spot. There was a big freeze here a few years ago in the desert and the stores got wiped out. People were offering up to $30 for a 3/4 plumbing union. Wild times! Also, silver solder has just that in it. Some up to 40+%. Always grab it if you see it at an estate or yard sale. Keep stacking!
I bought a copper penny sorting machine from eBay and every week I go to the bank and spend $500 and buy a few boxes of pennies and my copper sorter does everything for me then I returned the junk back to the bank and keep the copper pennies
Can I ask how many do you usually get per box? Are they pretty rare?
A box of cents is $25 . There are 2500 in a box in each roll I estimate to be around 5-10 on a good day . Now wheat cents are more difficult, I can’t estimate on that
@@goldsilverjunkie Nice! Thank you!
Thanks, I just bought the same sorting machine.
Only proble is, it takes more than 23,000 pure copper pennies to pay for that $700 machine. Any guesses how long that'll take?
About half of the 1982s are copper.
You'll have to weigh them with a simple portable scale (about $10).
Coppers will be 3.1 gm.
Zincs will be 2.5 gm.
Do you know if 1982 D mints are copper? I get different answers from coin collectors, the internet, etc..When weighed on my scale they come up as 3.0 exactly. I don't have a quality scale either mind you.
@@rm1042 If it's 3.X then it's copper.
A simple digital scale from Amazon for $10 will do the job.
Make sure the Scale's units can measure in Grams, Ounces, and Troy Ounces.
Obviously, the Troy Ounces are required for Au/Ag.
And make sure the accuracy goes to 100th of units, so 3.11 grams.
I check the weight of every single raw PM that comes into my stack.
@@kiltedsasquatch3693 Sounds good, thanks for the info.
I'd estimate 70-75% coppers, I can usually tell just by looking but made a simple device from a tounge depressor ( think teeter totter) with a Zinc cent on one end. Faster than weighing.
@@dissy5563yeah in my experience more than half of the 1982s are copper, as you said more like 75% or so.
Makes sense, apparently they switched to zinc in September 1982 so the first 3/4 of the year was copper.
😊, I have been hoarding the good ones for a long time. Now that you are talking about it, it all makes sense now ❗👌 Thank you for the heads-up.👌
I have for years. In the very old days the saying went: "Gold for the King, silver for the tradesman, copper for the poor." I think it will he easier to buy bread with a pocket full of pennies than with a $20 gold coin.
They'd better be clean wheat pennies. Five rolls of pennies? Whew. What a pocket.
Copper is trash just about. Too abundant. Byproduct of gold and silver mining.
Industrial use and worth something for sure, just not a store of wealth.
Yea, something fun to do tonight after an exhausting day of work. I'm going to go through my coffee can of change and pull out all the 1982 and older pennies. Thank you!!
Hope you find a pre 65 in there too!
If you find a 1943 bronze, Pop the champagne!
Hope you find some Wheaties too. Or maybe an Indian Head. Or a Steel Cent.
Just swipe a strong magnet over the coins to locate any wartime Steel Cents.
I've found a regular pencil eraser makes hard to read dates easy to see.... Good luck !!
@@douglaslynch5808 Doing so could greatly destroy the value if it's a rare cent. Just use a magnifying glass.
Great video. Thanks for sharing SD👍
Glad someone finally got on board. I’ve been saying this for months. The poor guy can at least do this, plus it’s a good division for bordering with your dimes
Love your channel , thanks ...
I've been hoarding pre-'82 pennies for 5+ years now. This is great news
same here.
Great video! I learned a lot. Thank you!
Bro. I've always stacked copper pennies. I have bank boxes full of them. I get a couple boxes a week and sort them out. Big fan of copper.
Copper Dragons 😂😂 that sounds like a fun name for a second channel 😂😂Thanks for the videos! They are appreciated!!
New to the channel, thinking of investing. Thank you for all the help the channel has giving me ^^
Great video, I have a quit a few copper rounds, they’re nice for making into rings and bells.
Good video. Keep ‘em coming
I did the Copper Penny sorting thing 10 years ago when there were two cents worth of copper in each penny now there is three cents of copper in each penny!
And where can you bring them? Scrap yards will take it?
Great information thanks Dragon
I stacked @ $75 in copper pennies WAY back in the late 1980s! They were all bank/mint rolled. I finally got tired of storing them and took them to the bank to cash them in. Let me tell you, the bank was NOT happy and was extremely reluctant to do that for me!
I bought some of these rounds from SD to make capacitive touch sensors and switches for my outbuildings. They are really cool looking. Maybe in 50 years, they will be worth their premiums. 🙂
I got a couple rolls from the bank a month ago for some penny press machines. I was told the copper pennies press better because they don't corrode as much as the new ones. Turned out all the machines supplied their own penny, boo. However, that means I have a bunch of pre 1982 pennies to hold on to now, yay! In the two rolls I found a wheat penny and three Canadian pennies, don't forget to look for the copper Canadians.
I melted a ton of .22LR shells into a one pound bar just for fun. But brass is mostly copper. Go to the shooting spots and collect the brass to make bars.
Thank you for the interesting information.
Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc.
I Love it! Good Job SD. I scrap what ever I can find for the copper.
Got any outdoor gun ranges nearby? 👀 go scoop up the brass shells. Better than Pennie’s. 😂🎉❤
@@JFEnterprize Centerfire cartridge cases, depending on condition and caliber, are worth more than just brass to reloaders, who spend between $0.05 to $1.00 (new Starline brass) depending on caliber and condition. Melt the rimfire cases, they won't reload. Recycle the spent lead too, Reloaders collect old wheel weights to melt down the lead to make bullets.
I have been a copper penny collector for years. Two comments, if you want to tell if a 1982 penny is copper flick it in the air with your thumb and if it rings it is copper. Second I am noticing over the last ten years there are less and less copper pennies in circulation. If you want to get the best shot ask someone who hoards change if you can go through their coins.
Easier to drop it on a hard marble or glass table, the ring is unmistakable.
Copper was in Canadian pennies up till 1996 then they switched it to Zinc then plated steel. Pennies were discontinued in Canada altogether in 2013.
Great info.
Definitely looking at my penny stash.
Good to know. I was about to sell off a bunch of copper wire. I'll smelt it and pour bricks instead. Thanks for the great information.
I started a Copper penny bag awhile ago.
When I get change I look through my pennies and get one every so often, bags get fuller & fuller !
I've been stacking copper scrap for years. I smelt a lot of it down into ingots to save space. Approximately up to 1500 lb of copper. And almost 5,000 lb of aluminum cans that I get from where I work, that I bail into 25 lb bales with a custom-built can baler.
The commodity bull run is on its way. 💰💰
Good for you! That shows resourcefulness
Great video thanks
Great info about pennies
copper or clad one cent pieces make the perfect washer or button for jeans, after drilling
I like that. Get a collared shirt of us currency bills on it and use 90% dimes for the buttons 🤔
I was thinking about that !!!!
Been doing it for over 20 years with my change. Have collected over 50 pounds worth.
Great video
Good content I really never thought about it buy I am now thank you Silver Dragons
You and I have talked about this before, but I've been saving pennies since I was a kid. Before I understood the whole Copper story or anything about monetary metals, I used to have a glass coin bank and three 1 gallon pickle jars on my dresser as a kid. I used to keep my Wheat cents in the glass coin bank, and I separated the rest of my pennies based on decade. So I kept non-Wheat 50s & 60s together in one jar, 70s in another, and the 80s & 90s together in the 3rd jar. I had those jars for many years, but I finally got married in my mid 20s, and during our first year, my wife and I sat down and pulled all of the Copper pennies out of my 80s & 90s jar. I finally put all of the Copper pennies in a single jar, which was almost full at something like 24 pounds of pennies. I kept the Wheat cents separate still, and I still have them in that glass coin bank to this day. It's now been about 20 years since that point, and I've been passively collecting Copper through the regular use of cash. I use cash, save the change, and I sift out all of the Copper pennies and add them to the hoard. I now have over 100+ pounds of Copper pennies that I actually keep in what used to be a plastic cat litter container. I might have to find some smaller containers, as it's really getting too heavy for me to life and carry reliably without hurting myself. I also have about 25 pounds of Canadian Copper pennies, and I keep old Canadian Nickel bullion in the form of their dimes, nickels, and quarters of certain years. I probably won't ever hoard Copper wire or pipe just because of the space. Copper pennies are already in the form of small Copper discs, and are therefore already available to use for trade or commerce. That's not true of wire or pipe. My focus remains on Gold & Silver, so Copper will only ever be something that I passively collect. But yes, people should be hoarding Copper, Nickel, Silver, and Gold. These are the 4 monetary metals, but only Silver and Gold have the Wealth Storage Density Capacity (WSDC) to warrant actively seeking out to collect and/or hoard them. Keep stacking!
I am here for this Copper Dragons arc! Do you have any wheat or Indian head pennies? Would love a video on those!
I have been saving any and all copper pennies for quite awhile now. I would love to find more silver dimes in circ.... Times are changing!!
I started my stack quest/hobby by stacking copper; I'd buy rounds and bars because at the time it was really all i could afford, but i stopped at about 80oz. As of this year I started stacking the pennies and it has been pretty fun hunting for the '81-older ones! And the nice thing is that you really don't lose any money doing the hunt.
The ONLY THING I'd recommend to anyone who is just starting out hunting/stacking copper cents, quarters, half dollars, etc, is to have a "dump bank". Some banks won't let you buy/trade or sell back the coins you've sorted through unless you're a customer, and you obviously don't want to get back rolls that you already turned in. So find a bank you can "buy" from, and a bank you can "dump" on, and have some fun hunting!
Nickles are a good thing to stack as well. I'll break the roll open just to hunt for gems, but in general you can just buy a roll and throw it into the safe and forget about it. As of today, a $2 roll of nickels is actually worth about $2.50/roll.
Great video, SD! 🙌🏾
Could just use a coin star machine too 🎉 check the discharge chute for silver while your at it! 🥳
I love sorting copper cents. Been doing it for a couple years.
Been doing it for years! I have 3 5 gallon bucket’s full. Still going as well!
I started hoarding copper pennies late last year, and it turned into searching for errors and varieties. Lots of fun and work ...
I even sorted them by decade Wheaties, 60's,70's, and 80's.
That's what led me to stacking $ilver . It's a little more expensive but a lot easier and more satisfying ....
Got a 5 gallon bucket full of them before 81 now got to go through them for the wheats and the valuable ones going to take me forever
I always check my change for pre 1983 copper pennies, & wheat pennies. 2 sheds gabby's youtube channel got me into it. You should weigh 1982s as most are copper, but some are zinc. copper weighs around 3.1 grams while zinc are around 2.5 g.
Twosheds Gabby is my hero! What a nice guy!
I use cash for daily purchases. Almost every day, I get pre-82 cents and/or nickels. I set them aside, then each month, roll my cents and nickels. I also put 1982’s aside, then weigh them and put the zincs back into circulation. All nickels (no date hunting required) are 75% copper 25% nickel, with a higher melt/face ratio than when silver was taken out of coinage post 1964. Gresham law is coming, when the half cent was removed from coinage, it had more buying power than the modern dime. Canada already made their cent obsolete. I believe the removal of the cent is coming to the USA soon, and then it will be “junk copper“ just like “junk silver “.
They did the same in Australia we used to have 1 and 2 cents made of copper we can legally take them to a scrap yard, also a lot of old pre 1964 penny's weigh 9.45 grams and there is half penny's 5.67 grams
I have a ton of them . Never thought it would ever come to this, but ill be hording them now!
Just what I needed. Something else to spend my time at. I have 3-4 coffee cans of pennies that I have been saving since 1987. I first was checking dates, but weighing is much faster.
I metal detect for fun and exercise mostly but while looking for silver coins and gold rings I always find copper and brass. throw it in a bucket until full or can still lift it and take it to the recycler for good money to buy some silver.
Good job, and well done!
I remember as a kid going through my pop's jar of pennies. I would sit their for hours!
Ha. I've been hoarding pennies for a while already. I already have many and I'm not giving up any of them, even the new most zinc ones, since it at least keeps me from potentially picking through them twice. Pro tip: make a see-saw out of a tongue depressor and a toothpick, then glue a zinc penny to one end to make it easy to tell what type it is.
You are a genius. I love your scale idea. I may have to build one now.
I have a bag of pennies, and recently picked up some copper cookware/tableware while thrifting.
I bought copper rounds 10 years ago for 50 cents each - i like them.
Nice 👌, I got 1 oz bars for like 62 cents each probably 10 yrs ago, Osborne Mint Copper Crackers they're called
I’ve been sorting copper pennies since 1983. I just had the feeling they would go the way of the silver dimes and quarters.
I've been stacking copper pennies before 2020 but I really started on it then
You can also bang a 1982 penny against a table, if it rings, it's copper.
Exactly!
I've been pulling copper pennies out of my pocket change for years and got nearly $100 so far
I've been working on my copper penny hoard. It's fun. As well as the silver and gold. Copper rounds and bars are pointless. Sift through penny rolls. And when you are done, coin star, 1 dollar for usung the coin star machine. 1 dollar premium (what using coind star cost in average) for at least a pound of copper pennies. Then repeat the process. Out of 10 dollars in penny rolls, I get more then a pound in copper on average easily. That math makes sense to me.
Nice Video
my uncle retired from the Denver mint i was told by a current employee the mint is melting down copper cents to mint new zinc plated ones.
I have pulled pennies out for years. I have over 5 gal. of copper pennies. Only pennies I will spend are what I call fake pennies. 1983 and newer. Good to know I have been doing the right thing. Thanks for the info
Been doing this for years with my pocket change. Just might go to bank and start getting boxes of them to go thru. 👍
Gresham’s law is becoming Gresham’s battle. It’s us against the machines! Talking to some of the lead cashiers in my area, they are required to hand feed rolls of coins to the self checkout machines, so the checkouts can make change.
Those checkouts are programmed to pull out specific coins: 90%, 40% & 35% Ag, Au, high % Cu (not cupronickel as far as they can tell). Those coins get held behind in a special bin for the maintenance vendors to clear.
So…either you hoard it or they will. Don’t let the machines win. Don’t let Sarah Connor down.
Good ideas my friend look at all angles
I have a lot of copper, over a hundred kilos. All of my gold is US minted coinage.
A good hand truck full of dated wheats. [maybe 5 gallons? close🤔] I can't wait to look through them; it's a lifetime of acquisition. I've been a numismatic since I was quite young. I also backyard smelt, ingots. 😁
I haven't smelted silver or gold, but wouldn't that be awesome! 💚
Thanks, @Silver Dragons. 👍
p.s. Harry's is great, love those guys!
Great video brother thanks for the info have a great weekend
About 25 years ago I had a 5 gallon glass water bottle 100% full of pennies I had collected for 20-25 years(since this was before I started paying with CC and paying off each month). I finally thought it was silly to have a very heavy bottle full of a fairly small amount of cash depreciating so over the course of a month or so I poured them out and rolled them into penny wrappers. I think it held about $340 IIRC. Of course now I wish I still had it, but back then copper was not a metal you thought of as valuable.
Every time I get cash from the bank, I get couple rolls of pennies.
Bout %15 of pennies is 95% copper. Easy money, the cost is your time.
I’m stacking it all! To the ceiling!!!! 🚀
The biggest problem with stacking copper is space! A roll of pennies is currently worth $1.50, but a single silver dime is over $2.
Hey silver dragons what real time gold and silver price app or what ever you call it do you recommend? And what does Harry use at the coin shop for there real time pricing?
Copper pennies are valuable and that's why they were in our money and don't forget about the value of having an official coin stamped by the US Mint with a fractional dollar denomination on it. The fact that it's several decades old gives it even more allure. 100 copper pennies is s copper dollar and just as valuable as 10 silver dimes. Money Metals was selling these for 3 cents a couple weeks ago but they are out now and I would not be surprised if no one sells them back at these prices as it would make more sense to keep them since they are so much more valuable that Fed Dollars.
Ya, I agree.
Silver dimes are worth 2.20 in silver weight. How are 100 copper pennys worth as much as 10 silver dimes?
@@jubblybits6155 We won't be measuring in Fed Dollars in the future so I'm using the reference points of value the US Treasury used and assigned to our money in the past. Why do you think a Silver Eagle only has a dollar value on it? Because the Central Bank was never intended to last forever. After it fails Prices go way down but get expensive at the same time since our metrics will change back to the old reference points. In other words. What's in your wallet? You might have a lot of high numbers on pieces of paper or you might have a lot of low numbers stamped on metal in coins.
I know people who worked areas where there was old copper electric lines. They would take a few handful every day and go home. Did this for over thirty years. I imagine they’ll have a good pay day
Some extra pocket money for weekend spending. 💰🙃🤣
I’ll buy copper rounds or bars just for the coolness factor, not for stacking. But it’s definitely worth stacking copper pennies. I grabs a few rolls every time I go to the bank.
Now you got me on a scavenger hunt looking for real cooper Pennie’s 😂😂😂😂 didn’t find much , but now I know what to look for. 1981 and older.
You just saved me some $$$$... I was about to buy the 1oz version....
i already have been. mostly was from the bank, but recently im actually buying more bullion types especially if i can get. good deals. also copper wire and plumbing fixtures as scrap
I’m picking up a bunch our AUD pre-decimal copper pennies and half pennies, among other numismatic coins, next weekend.
I've always held onto scrap copper and my copper pennies, but I don't replace the space I would normally use for my silver or gold.
I have a Ryedale sorter and sort out 20+ boxes per week. I have plenty for sale :)
We got rid of the penny in Canada years ago. The Penney was worth way more than the cent it represented. Now we just round up or down for change from cash sales.
Oh yes. I’ve been saving(pulling out) 1959. - 1981 Pennie’s for a couple decades now. Not too aggressively but when I get any of those dates in my basic change, I squirrel them away. I have rolls and rolls and I also save wheat cents. >Wayne
Been separating the copper out of my change for years. Have been pulling nickels out the last couple also. It all adds up.
Copper futures have fallen 12% in the last few weeks. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Gold, silver and copper are being manipulated along with equities in order to get people to buy high. If you want to do well, buy low, sell high.
I have been saving copper Pennie’s for years getting them from circulation
I wonder what the rate you would find them in penny rolls from the bank. Are they a rare find?
I'm always on the lookout for real copper ones in the change I get. I can recognize them almost instantly now.
I don't understand why copper bars are so much over spot..it's insane..I really enjoyed the Video.. Awesome You did a video about copper..
I absolutely keep mind when I find them
