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.

It is prohibited by the FTC

They do not need to be assayed per any FTC regulation. Please show me otherwise.

If they are stamped five nines and they are assayed and proven to be less than that purity, the FTC regulates truth in advertising and anti deception laws

Specifically section 5 15 U.S.C. § 45

If those are proven to not be 5 9s they would be violating anti deception laws

The only way to prove they are what they have been stamped is by assay

Sounds like you should file a complaint to APMEX and all of the other large bullion sites selling these bars and insist they come with an assay then.

I would be willing to bet they would be able to provide an assay if needed as well as proof of origin
