Should You Be Copper Stacking? - How To The Best Way......

[@slackerstacker6274]

I stack a little copper, but I just love the red metal. It’s a personal choice.

[@andreleger2001]

you have a zinc mixed in that copper - shield near the top left of the frame 16:20

[@SilverWolverine95]

Yup!! I had that for the video but didn't mention it or point it out.. Thank you for watching and the comment....

[@numismaticofamericacoincol1464]

Two weeks ago I visited a Copper Mine pit and I was able to get some Copper bars I love it....!!

[@SilverWolverine95]

Cool... I would love to...

[@stackerMannsrabbithole]

I love copper. Not everyone can afford gold or collectible silver pieces so buying beautiful copper art pieces, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I scrap and get alot of good stuff from my lineman buddy. With that my hobby is to melt down into fun shapes and bullion bars. I also like you and many keep any copper cents. Thats my copper stack. Its a little savings account and hobby for me.

[@bjornbjorn8235]

Sounds good to me. Have a nice day sir. From Denmark.

[@duranhunt7600]

Copper will go up In price In the future.

[@richardmetcalf2346]

I've been throwing all my copper cents into a 5 gallon jug for decades. It's full and must weigh around 250 lbs. Don't buy copper rounds, just pull it out of your change.

[@ScottGibson-bz4id]

Exactly.

[@RealityTrailers]

Smart. And unlike copper bullion which has highly over priced premiumums.

[@vlastimiljanko8638]

I do the same but selecting pre 1981 ones.....👍

[@SilverWolverine95]

Boom!

[@ericbond5276]

I bought $20 worth for the design(s). Yeah, now they are a buck lower oh well.

[@ericbond5276]

I bought 20 oz generic rounds a month ago. I had a $11 credit from 3 yrs. ago and the company allowed me to use it. I bought Winged Lib, Buffalo and Aztec. They sent them in plastic tubes as opposed to plastic flips. Copper premiums are outrageous! I bought because of the eye appeal. What I do is save pre-1982 pennies. I saved 1982 pennies for many yrs. in a separate container. I bought a digital gram scale on ebay for less than $11. I never knew they were so inexpensive. I ended up with pennies that were over 3 grams (6 rolls).

[@WasatchGarandMan]

Am I missing something? Why is it that Copper is 4 or 5 bucks a pound but all the bars and rounds are WAY over spot

[@SilverWolverine95]

manufacturing costs and profits.... Copper higher premiums than Silver and Silver Higher premiums than Gold....

[@phuckyu3383]

Because, manufacturing costs are the same regardless of what metal you use. 🤷

[@phuckyu3383]

​@@SilverWolverine95 Speaking of premiums... JM Bullion has 100 pks of $1 Silverbacks for only $899.00 (1/10th oz total weight).

[@veritasfiles]

I also saw some post 2009 Shield Lincoln cents on the table. You can see one at 15:30 in the video. You might want to go back through your pennies and make sure they are all Copper because somehow you got a few other coins mixed in that obviously aren't Copper pennies. I have 100+ lbs of Copper pennies, and I have close to 300 ounces of Copper rounds. I don't stack Copper rounds, but when buying Silver, I have been known to purchase a Copper round or two just to round out the order, which is how I have ended up with a bunch of Copper rounds. Like you, I don't advise people to buy Copper rounds. Clearly, keeping pre-'82 Copper pennies is the way to go. I also keep all of the older Nickels 2003 and prior, as a way to hoard both Copper and Nickel. I also have about 20+ pounds of Canadian Copper pennies, and 4 or 5 lbs of Nickel bullion through keeping Canadian Nickels and Quarters that were 99.9% Nickel. These are not precious metals, but they are both monetary metals, and if you stack Silver & Gold, then there is no reason you shouldn't also have a bit of Copper and Nickel. Lastly, wouldn't a "narrowing ratio" between Copper and Zinc mean that you're seeing more Copper? I think you mean to say that the ratio is "widening", don't you? Keep stacking!

[@SilverWolverine95]

What happened was I had a couple zinc cents on the table to show in the video 2009 and a couple other shield cents I just didn't mentioned in the video. Video was getting too long.. This bag is all 95% copper... Thanks for watching

[@nickelstacking2023]

Silver was up over 4% today

[@JOHNRMECH]

Ty for calling them cents.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Thanks for sharing 😊 take care

[@dandydonslife9869]

What about clad coins they have 75% copper are they worth stacking?

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

I have some nice copper rounds. They are very beautiful, but I get most of my copper via nickels. In a $2 wrap of nickels (40 nickels) I get over 5oz of copper. A 5g nickel contains 3.75g of copper. Plus some nickels are good to collect 😊

[@MilledSteel]

I’ve always gotten 20% + sorting copper pennies(New England) but the banks make it too difficult so I don’t search them much anymore.

[@fin59shaw]

I have some copper rounds, just for fun. There are lots of great designs, and they make great gifts if people identify with the design. They really need to be in Capsules, not handled raw. Not anything to stack, but it's fun.

[@silverpatriotLoveGodLoveMan]

The only copper I have are copper lincoln cents that I pull from circulation 👍

[@SilverWolverine95]

Boom!

[@georgematthews2877]

Good Afternoon SW!!🥤Great to join you again. I bought a tube of copper rounds, and keep 1981 and earlier Lincoln cents. You are sure right! Cents earlier than 82 are getting soaked up like a 🧽! 😃

[@SilverWolverine95]

I love pre 1982 constitutional Copper, Oh yeah!! Thanks George!!!

[@daviddavey1727]

[@ericbond5276]

I was looking at pennies lot on ebay. There seems to be a few lots worth looking at. Looks better than those 1 oz copper generic rounds.

[@Mr74superbeetle]

Maybe a dumb question: If you can melt old silver coins, why no old copper pennies?

[@SalivateMetal]

Oops. A shield cent made it in there! lol Great video. I buy copper for the exact same reasons you did. I still have a long way to go on holding back my copper cents. But, I don't have a 28lb bag yet. Far from it. lol

[@SilverWolverine95]

Hi Sal What happened was I had a couple zinc cents on the table to show in the video 2009 and a couple other shield cents I just didn't mentioned in the video. Video was getting too long lol..

[@172ellishouse]

I bought a tube of copper 1oz rounds a few years ago and will be buying 1 more at some point for my other child. Most of my copper stack is wire, motors and tubing.

[@ericbond5276]

I can imagine the expressions of your children when they see their gifts on Christmas. I bought 20 oz copper a month ago. Around $2.70 due to shipping and premiums. I had a credit slip that I received 3 yrs. ago that the company allowed me to use.

Stack Copper... buy stacking Constitutional Silver. 90% Silver.. 10% Copper. Both are underpriced, but SILVER is massively underpriced and is a more concentrated store of wealth. That being said... I buy Copper rounds that have good mottos, and I give them to people I am trying to educate on the benefits of stacking Precious metals.. instead of letting it rot away in the bank collecting next to no Interest, and rapidly being eroded by Real Inflation.

[@mykittenisagrandmaster4381]

I have a lot of wheat pennies

[@adrian_zombturtle148]

Started a weak ago and i have 340 copper pennies and for silver i have a dime and a war nickle also a couple or random mexican silver coins

[@guardian1326]

I recently picked up a tube of 20 copper Mercury rounds. Each round was $1.50. For the whole tube, it was $32.

[@nathanhill6042]

And is worth 6.25 at 5 dollars a pound

[@phuckyu3383]

DB Metals has several rounds, including the Mercury, for $0.99 each.

[@CuSTACKS]

Copper bullion is a great way to stack fractionally. There is a demand for copper and especially collectible copper pieces. Yoi can get your money back out of them if not more. There is a copper bullion market therefore you can sometimes do better than you would silver, gold and platinum. When yoi sell precious metals back to your dealer usually they will buy this material under spot especially if the markets are on an up swing. As I stated before copper is fractional you can sell on the secondary market and break even or even make a little. It will take you a longer time to sel, but I believe it's a better return than precious metals. Pennies are ok but you can melt them yet so it's just pennies at the end of the day until the U.S. govt says it's OK. If you don't know how to smelter the coper out it is dangerous to do so. It wouldnt pay to pay a refiner to extract the red metal unless copper goes to the moon. The best is to trade copper pennies at its melt value. WHT would you rather have a dirty old penny worth 2.8 cents or a a pure shiny copper bullion round or bar? I choose bullion all day.

[@SilverWolverine95]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts...

[@ericbond5276]

Just buy what looks nice and take them out occasionally. Thank you for stressing the high premium. Back when silver was $4 yrs. ago, I said to myself, how can this semi-precious metal be so low. Taking the linear thought to copper, workmen and thieves are stealing it out of churches and EV chargers. Hmm?

[@chutethemall8099]

How much copper can they steal from an EV charger? Asking for a friend.

[@sfkimrush]

I have all of nine copper rounds. I have no desire to stack pennies or copper. I save all copper pennies. I drop pennies on a table and listen for differences in the sound to determine if the coin is copper or zinc. After removing that nickel you should re-weigh your bag (ha ha).

[@Happycamper10]

The dollar has 3 cents of its original value left what else is valued around 3 cents? A 95% copper penny. This is highly undervalued because one penny should be worth 1 dollar at the moment!!!!!!!! Copper rounds should be worth what silver ones are now, and silver 🚀. These are being suppressed to give the dollar a perceived value. Take it to the moon fellas!

Wish I had a 1943 Copper

[@phuckyu3383]

Meh.. I'm not bothering with bags or buckets full of 95% copper 'pennies'. One ounce copper rounds are much easier to deal with. Sure, there's a steep premium for a copper round. But, if you're stacking Goldbacks or Silverbacks, you probably shouldn't be complaining about premiums. Somewhere online I saw a 1/1000 silverback for $8.99 each, for example. I didn't buy copper rounds in the hope that the price of copper skyrockets down the road. But rather for possibly bartering for small items or quantities in the event of some sort of calamity or economic collapse. Copper has a long history for use as currency. As such, the 1 oz round or bar could be the standard size/denomination below silver. And you wouldn't need to be a numismatist to understand the concept. On the other hand, using pre-1982 pennies or junk silver requires a short lecture about metal content, etc. I would disagree that once you buy a copper round or bar it's an unrecoverable loss. At the very least, you could recover what you spent selling them on eBay. Especially, if they're a collectable like Zombucks. In the 'sold' history for copper rounds there are sales for hundreds of dollars for this year. So, I'm not as worried about losing anything on copper rounds. I have a different purpose for them in mind. Watch 'Copper Mutant', he'll get you fixed up.
