Hey, I've been searching all over the net for this coin and cannot find it. The obverse with Jfk's face and the 4z stars under his head is what has me stumped. All the coins I have seen have a date under his head...Was wondering if this is some kind of error. Thanks in advanced.   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

There are a lot of privately issued copper rounds. They are often touted as a cheap alternative to silver. However, considering there is about 15 cents of copper in this round, and they sell for several dollars, it is a poor investment.
You would get the same amount of copper in 9 copper United states 1 cent coins.

Die cutting style suggests this is not a coin.
Picture says that it is a copper round.
Not really a bullion coin, more of a cheap collector piece.
A poor investment if you are buying copper bullion, because the premium cost per item to produce is way too high.
There is about 15 cents value in this copper round. As a collector piece, it would cost a lot more than 15 cents to buy this item.

Not collectible. No value. Everything has a value and everything is collectible to people interested in that subject. Would I buy it no, but it doesn't mean others wouldn't and plenty of people would never buy coins period but it doesn't mean they aren't collectable. Should they be stacked as an investment absolutely not, but there's nothing wrong with paying a couple bucks if someone like the round and enjoys things like that People should be aware when something is privately made like this, but if they know and they like it and want it anyways there's nothing wrong with that |

There is a following in copper rounds, although I am not one of them Many of them have interesting designs.

Golden state mint is one of the copper round producers Presston minting is another. I have 3 different years of assorted JFK rounds all with the same reverse, the mints also use their silver bullion dies to mint cheaper copper rounds. I have rounds that come in @ 1/4,1/2,3/4, 1 ounces they seem to be sold at gun and prepper shows. As the new money of the apocalypse, the smaller weights are sold in rolls. As it has been stated if you are worried about what to use during the Apocalypse. You would better off in buying and stock piling copper wire or pipe and pipe fittings. Since I have cast metal in a past life, I can tell you that casting copper in to anything useful would be a large PIA. due to temp required, and to cast wire it has to be done in an oxygen free environment. so the electrical properties are maintained at the proper measurements. I have a civil war set, a set of dinosaurs, set of money of the Apocalypse, Zombucks set, set of the US military crests, Christmas, and some other holidays, eneral themes. The US mint has produced set of copper rounds of the presidents, and their wives a number of years ago   |
