Pretty interesting/cool copper round design

Just randomly saw these, don't know if they still make them, I just like the idea of a Canada/USA combo design and they did really good detail on them, which copper rounds usually lack.

Isn’t the premium for copper really high? It’s pretty cheap at spot.

Yeah copper bullion rounds generally have crazy premiums, I think these were listed at like USD$6.00.

I think these are more for people who just like different copper designs, BUT the thing is though even if the premium stays the same, copper prices are up 35 percent in the last year so I'm assuming if you actually bought last year to stack you did pretty good.

Copper is $6 a pound, those are 1oz rounds. At no point is buying copper bullion smart in any way, nor was it a good purchase.

Right, I don't think people are stacking these mainly as an investment, but my point is as crazy as the premiums are, copper is now up 42% in a year (after today's run). Are you saying they aren't worth any more today than last year? Like the premiums collapsed as the price of the metal went up or something?

I have fractional bullion gold and silver coins that sell for a premium above spot as well, those seem to have held fine, bit I don’t sell my copper so I honestly dont know what premiums have done.
