Melting For Copper Bullion

It is pointless to melt copper scrap yourself, The current rate per pound for copper is
around $3.25 a pound. When you scrap depending on the size of copper (dia) Here is one that is about the general prices being paid. If you click on the link in the description it will give you a photo of the type. http://www.sullivanmetals.com/price_list.php

After you get the permits,build or buy a furnace, collect enough scrap to melt pay for the fuel to melt it. You could have bought a lot more bullion of copper from the home casting suppliers.

@ the current price of the copper rounds and bullets to break even the price of copper would have to be $32.00 to $64.00 a pound. Why bother, you want to stack copper bar in the 2"dia and a power hack saw and cut disks out of it then stack it still would be cheaper then melting and casting ingots!

Thanks Jack.

I think that my time has been well spent. Even tough many may not see copper as a PM, I see it as 2.70/lb. This, times however much raw copper wire I give them, could add up to a pretty nice payday.

And I agree with you. I don't have the luxury to spend money frivolously on things like gold, silver, or a small island. But here's what I can tell you, I work hard. I put in my 50 hours a week just to make a buck, because whenever I do get married and have kids, I want them to have a better life than I have. Its not about what you do, its about how you did it. And if my old man taught me one thing, he told me "you can never be tough part time son, you need to give it your all, all the time".

And yes I do CRH, but lately its hasn't been panning out for me. I'm on a 37 box sunk for halves. I may move to dimes just to switch things up. I see you have your hands in all denominations Jack, which one outside of halves gives you the biggest rush? Input very much appreciated.
