Disclosure - I'm not affiliated with Provident Metals myself, but just saw they have Lakota bullion now listed for sale on their web site. I think the coins are quite beautiful. Personally, I like the "Crazy Horse" silver round just for its artistic beauty. The wifey loves the look of their copper rounds. Will likely pickup a double handful to hold for our granddaughter. From their web store : The Lakota, also known as Teton, are part of a confederation of seven Sioux tribes who dwell in the Dakotas. Today, there are roughly 70,000 Lakota people living within the Unites States and Canada, and as a semi-autonomous nation, they have actualized a form of independent currency--hence the creation of the Lakota Copper Coins.Anyone else see these ? Opinions ? http://www.providentmetals.com/feat...-rounds.htmlEdited by CitizenPatriot

That's exactly what I was thinking, too. Granted, the copper rounds may just be a passing fad, of sorts, but I think they are pretty cool looking. And if copper shoots up significantly (as some have suggested it may), so much the better.
Heck, ya can't go too far wrong for a buck apiece, right ?Edited by CitizenPatriot

I liked the coins until I saw the $5.95 shipping. If you are looking for copper coins, check ebay for 1 oz copper bullion coins. You can find some for around $1-2 with free shipping. Some have great subject matter too |

even at a buck each, those copper rounds are more then 5x spot price of copper, so I wouldn't expect to make any money at all on those.

I have one or two of the one ounce medals that I got for $2 each because I like how they look not for the copper content. John1  |

Don't think these are investment pieces, but just nice looking medallions that would appeal to collectors that like this sort of item.
I really don't think their $5.95 postage is too high for shipping. With the cost of mailers and U.S. postal rates now, it seems like they are not gouging at all.

I agree that I am not buying it for the copper content, but for the price, they have great subject matter and are a fun gift for my godchildren. Nice and heavy and shiny
