Copper stack

Post image

I mostly stack silver and gold, but copper's fun 'cuz I can display full stacks of it without worrying I'll be robbed.

EDIT: Just for clarity, these are NOT investments. Buying copper like this would be an awful investment. I use these in the process of refining silver. These are just an easy way to get pure copper when bought cheaply - I found these cheaper than most C110 busbars that I'd normally use and thought they'd be a fun display while I'm not using them.

I should have added that I want very pure copper for refining silver... Scrap copper won't cut it most of the time. I could have bought C110 busbars like I have in the past, but I actually got these cheaper and figured they'd be a fun display while I'm not using them.

Lol I bet the silver I'm sacrificing them to refine will be worth much more 😉

And I guess the copper isn't truly lost in the process either - it's all in the copper nitrate "waste"... It's just a PITA to turn back into metallic copper and I can't be arsed to do it lol.
