RE: Copper: the Metal Most People Ignore

You saying that the coin that you purchased on your picture has "about $0.30 of actual copper" and you paid about $2.00 for that means that the coin has only about 15% copper, which is quite obvious by the color of the coin !INDEED. 🤓😏 !WEIRD !HOPE !PIZZA

Sort:  

I should clarify: the round is 100% copper, but there is a massive markup. 1 oz of copper is worth about $0.30 and I paid $2. Most copper rounds go for $1.00 - $3.00 for their novelty. The photo didn't really capture the copper color of the coin, so I can see how all this together one would conclude a low copper content. !BBH

The quality of the photograph !INDEED caused the confusion, as I was quick to assume that the coin was not pure copper. 🤯😅 !WEIRD !HOPE !PIZZA !HUG
