There is no point. Copper isn't a precious metal.

I agree with the posts. Makes about as much sense as hoarding tin.

'Copper bullion' is an oxymoron - no such thing. Kitco price Cu in $ per tonne. However some people like metals regardless of intrinsic value, and so may 'collect' a range of metals for their own sake. You can get a range of small ingots of various metals on ebay, if one wanted to collect such a category. |

The bullion copper coins have nice eye appeal, especially for kids. I'll give my 10 year old son a few dollars to spend at a coin show and he usually will (among other things) bring back a half pound or pound bar of copper bullion. He likes the heft and appearance of the bullion.

It's working well at coin shows to sell Copper rounds. Some are 1 and some are 1/2 ounce. All sorts of designs. For kids makes an entirely new sort of collection.

I dunk them in acetone to clean off any coatings and then use them as sacreficial offerings to protect the silver coins...

Just a collecting fad, there are some neat designs - the intrinsic value is nominal.

It might have spawned a software after it's name (a LA Rosetta Stone) but the Ryedale is a coin sorter.
