I just found a lot of copper in the street light pole. But now the street light doesn't work. Weird but I got some copper stacked now. Thanks for the info
I've been saving scrap copper for years. A few years back I got into smelting my copper scraps to save space. Now I've got a huge stack of approximately 1 kilo copper bullion bars and a large pile of assorted hand poured rounds. Thanks as always for your videos Mr stateside
I totally agree Copper Bullion is more of Novelty buy than anything , but for Nusimatic copper you won't go wrong especially if you have a 1909 SVDB cent which is worth a lot!
@@StatesideStash I wish you well on getting that cent I've had one before, but sold it cause it was not in great shape I will be getting one soon too! to complete my Lincoln cent album
Last year i bought a 1 AVDP oz of copper for $14.99. Its a recreation of a 1933 double eagle. Why did i buy it you ask? My wife insisted, since i hadnt bought anything for myself during our vacation. I know copper was probably less than $4/lb at the time, but its easier to just smile and say yes, than to try and explain how horrible a deal i got.
I've stacked up over 10,000 copper cents (pre-82). I have some wheat cents as well. I also have a couple hundred Indian Head cents. Other than that my copper is in Nickels I get in change. I do not have any bars, rounds or anything of that nature in copper bullion. I do think they are cool and I would like some for novelty but as you said I wouldn't pay the premiums. The reasoning behind such is because I prefer to buy Constitutional silver or silver art bars/rounds. If i'm not buying that, I'm usually hunting down 10k/14k gold jewelry to stack some gold away for cheap.
Hey Stateside, thanks for the vlog! Nice large cents. I love those numismatic coins. I've only got the really expensive stuff left for my type set. It's definitely going to take some time before I delve into those. Saw 2 different draped bust dollars at a coin show last weekend. I asked the price, but knew I was not ready to pay the amount they were going to ask for them. Had to ask anyway.
That’s what I do. I save any pre-1982 pennies I acquire and every so often, I find some in the cash drawers where I work and I swap them out with change in my pocket. I found quite a bit of wheat pennies just this past years. You’d be shocked about how ignorant the average consumer is about numismatics. They only see the denomination, but you can use that to your advantage if you play your cards right. 👍
I used to scrounge copper if it got in my way. Never bought it. Pipe, wire, etc. When it's space was full, off to recycling. I have always fished out Wheaties from my change. Same with pre82 pennies. I brought the pennies to Hawai'i. Lol. Great video SS !! I think many coin folkses' still love the penny. I do.
I love copper rounds. Most of my favorite Silver rounds have the same round made in copper. Same design, really can look nicer, but for $4 instead of $30. I like to give them out to special people that I meet. 2A people, Dog people, Trump people. People that are wearing a shirt, have a bumper sticker, carrying openly, have a cool dog, I have a cool copper round for them. It is fun to surprise people, especially for the dog owners, because the dogs only behave as well as their owners train them.
Have you noticed the amount of mutilated quarters and dimes lately? I have a friend who purchases these types of coins at a discount. They are coming from China. Back in the mid 1800's China used to file down the edges of silver dollars and such. They are doing this again shaving off the reading and then mutilating them to keep the value of the coins. A cheap but tedious process to get free copper and nickel
I bought 10 1 oz Halloween pumpkin themed 🎃 copper rounds and I just did it because they’re cool to me not really to stack. I love all metals even copper but the problem with copper is storage. 😂😢
my dad is a plumber.. when i was a kid my brother and i used to have to cut up my dads scrap copper pipe after school so we could take it to the scrap yard.. good times 😅
@@StatesideStash Tough to find a coin shop that would buy Lincoln Memorials from you 59-82 even though they're still 95% copper. They're nuisance coins to most dealers.
Copper is a great metal for how it's used across the world, just not for stacking. I will, though, stash away pre-82 pennies and all US nickels, and I've got two fun pieces of bullion.
Always understand that copper is $4.17 per POUND… but you’re buying by the ounce… dealers sell 1 oz for 1.50 to 3.00 per ounce… nice to look at, nice for convo’s and even maybe just to have some souvenirs made up… but copper is not a great investment… I definitely have hundred of old copper Pennies
I always take w.e scrap copper we have from a job site. Every 6 months or so I go scrap it and get like 500 bucks sometimes more sometimes less but it’s a good date night or day out with the kids that is basically free minus the sweat
Folks if you want copper, why not bronze. You can find it at thrift stores, flea markets or better yet go yard sailing for this decorative bronze in many different forms and shapes at very affordable prices. Now if I just wanted copper only then how about tubing or even different usable fittings that are used around the house for future uses. There are always better and more affordable options than these collectible copper rounds or bars that will always carry a premium when buying and selling. Don’t forget that our sovereign cents that we mistakenly call pennies are worth three times their face value as-well as the collectable side. Oh yes the government is now changing the copper content of our sovereign cents/pennies.
@@MattMcCormack-f3e What you haven’t noticed is that the price you are paying for this novelty copper as well as do you really think in times of crisis you maybe selling it only by weight and if selling it back to a LCS there definitely there will be premiums involved. Probably with a negative premiums. Yes reselling nicknacks the sell price is probably going to be ten times or higher versus these novelty copper rounds or bars. Like I mentioned before cents/pennies maybe your best bet to stockup on since the US Mint is going to a more affordable metal in place of what we call copper pennies/cents. Your choice, for me I’m into making real money and not silly-putty or Play-Doh.
I bought a copper coin for five us dollars one ounce I think because that was what I was going to use to pay off the USA National Debt with with the whole *"pay it all off with a super-sized super massive copper coin!"* ridiculousness running wild which is still running wild actually yes, absolutely😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😮😮😮😮😮
I love copper rounds especially the wildlife rounds and the legalize pot rounds I buy them for my son . I guess I'm to old to live in the 70's considering I'm 67 years young. Copper bars are beautiful also.
Wow are you crazy, apparently you aren’t a collector and maybe you need some professional guidance. Because I’m not seeing it here and or are you just repeating what just heard from someone else.

Bad methanie! Bad! Put it back
2:04 🎉 but those security cameras all over town are game ON😂
🤣
I stack copper in the form of brass shells 2500 in various sizes. In a SHTF event great barter material ;)
Brass and lead baby

Constitutional silver all the way!
I have a bunch of copper coins and I think there really cool but they are mostly for the kids to play with so their silver can stay in the safe.
Exactly what I mean. Fun to buy but not to stack

It’s always good to know! I enjoy collecting the type set. Keeps me busy
Them some mighty fine pennies Stash !!! ^5
Thank you!
Cool stuff about those huge pennies. I never knew about those, thanks for posting
Any time brother!
🤙🏽
Appreciate you brother!
I wouldn’t stack copper or platinum
I don’t know enough about platinum to speak against it

I brought the pennies to Hawai'i. Lol.
Great video SS !!
I think many coin folkses' still love the penny. I do.
You’re gathering it up the right way!
I’ve got some copper pieces, but I stick to pennies when it comes to copper.
Right there with you!
Bought copper for fun but not stacking!!!!
Agreed
💯 fun history
I will always have a stack of some type of copper around. The fact that I need it to refine silver is the main reason it has value to me.
That’s totally acceptable and different from buying it in hope to make a profit
Found some copper in the neighbors yard! Thanks Stateside!!😁👍
🤣
How many times do I have to tell you. One or two is not enough, one for me, two for my kids and four for my grandkids. Sheesh : )
🤣

Interesting I haven’t noticed but then again I don’t come by a lot of change
Also heard of people buying Aluminium in 5 kilo bars as an investment
The premium is absolutely ridiculous
You’d never earn anything back on them
Exactly. Waste of money
Drink more can drinks and save them. Now I’m wondering what is your mind set, if you cant afford silver maybe PMs aren’t your thing.

Great memories lol made you a hard worker!
I have a Germania Mint Kilo copper bar. Looks great. Not an investment.
Germania mint does a killer job on everything they do
I love those old colonials
They are beyond cool
Only copper I stack are Indian heads and wheats.
Well worth it

I sold my copper stack and I’m happy I did that because that allowed me to take care of mom
Everything for family!
👍👍

I hope he’s trolling lol
I came across a copper coated 1oz silver panda beleive it or not limited to 200. Don't ask me why but I bought it anyway. Can't resist Pandas
It’s like my weakness for libertads, I get it
@StatesideStash I can't resist Libertads either just no gold ones atm 😭
I love copper but it's got to be the right price.
FREE is the right price
Imi don’t stack copper either. I may buy some cool pieces if I run across them but I’m not going out of my way to get it.
Exactly! There’s are some cool fun pieces out there to buy but not stack
I have a couple of large cents, .my 1848 bh is the nicest
It’s such a simple yet beautiful design

I might buy a poured piece if it appeals to me. Stack copper? Uh, no.

Lmao methanie is real! Iv seen ppl strip the copper out from under a trailer that was actively lived in 😂😂
Dude they have no limits 🤣
DO NOT BUY SLABBED COINS
I’ll always buy slabbed coins for numismatics. It’s stupid not to

I stack copper, you have no clue. Its going to the moon! 🚀
Are,you going to the moon also??
I think he’s already on the moon
@@StatesideStash 😂
Maybe I’m the one that isn’t thinking. I guess it must be my age.
I’ve got some copper pieces, but I stick to pennies when it comes to copper.
It’s kinda fun hunting through change and finding the pre82s
