How to Invest in Copper Bars

How to Invest in Copper Bars


 

Copper Bar Seller & Material Certification


Know your seller. It is traditionally accepted that copper bars are to be sold with .999 purity of copper content. A seller should be willing and able to provide a material certification (document proving copper content from mill origination) to verify their copper bars are truly pure copper. In addition, you need to be able to trust that you will get what you expected.
 
 

Copper Bar Stamps and Marks

 

Copper Bar No Stamp Copper bars are almost exclusively sold retail with various stamps, imprints, and marks to make the copper bar appear more valuable than it is.

You will see almost anything imaginable stamped. Most seller have their copper bars stamped from a sales strategy.

Sales strategies in copper bar stampings

are usually of images such as images of the Walking Liberty, Peace Dollar, Indian Head, Maple Leaf, and other well known images associated with numismatic sought coins.

The markings hold zero influence of the purity of the copper or value of the copper in the copper bar. Therefore, they are for decoration and searchability. Meaning, if someone types into an internet search engine like Google or Yahoo “Peace Dollar” then it is feasible that the copper bar with the Peace Dollar image on it may appear in results, increasing chances of a sale.

There is no metal alloy benefit to copper bars with decorative designs on them. In fact, the price a buyer pays increases due to covering the cost of both the stamp and labor to imprint the stamp. This also holds the same truth if the copper bars are buffed to appear shinier than a copper bar would otherwise normally appear.

If you’re looking to buy decorative copper bars, an imprinted pure copper bar may be the way to go. However, if you simply want to invest in copper bars as a copper commodity, finding the most efficiently priced copper bars is the way to go to maximize your return on your copper investment.
 
 

Copper Bar Weight

 

A really intriguing factor in pricing copper bars is labor. To cut copper bars into exact 1 pound, 1 troy ounce, 1 ounce, 10 kilos weight is labor and time intensive. In fact, any specific weight cut is labor and time intensive and your price will reflect that. An alternative strategy is to receive copper bar pricing on copper bars that were error cuts during the manufacturing process of other finished copper products.

If the weight of two pure copper bars is the same, then a .999 pure copper bar incorrectly cut is worth the same as a .999 pure copper bar correctly cut.

The only difference is weight conformity. Meaning, individual bars won’t weigh round numbers, which is what is generally an accepted practice in the copper
bar trading world.
 
 

Traditional Copper Bar Investing

 
 

Don’t like stepping outside the norm? Stick to traditional copper bar investing and buy copper bars with imprints and proper conformity in weight. Yes. You will pay a higher premium, but you will get shiny pretty copper bars.

If you simply want to invest in pure copper as a wealth preservation and investment tactic, then it may be time to break with tradition with cutting edge pricing. Time is money. Therefore, the time it takes to cut, buff, stamp, and price to incorporate any errors, a seller’s time will mean a buyer’s money.

Avoid Short-Term Copper Futures Risk

Avoid Short-Term Copper Futures Risk


 

Copper prices, like other metals, fluctuate in price. This can be due to a wide birth of reasons from world demand, internationally imposed tariffs, bull & bear markets, to controversial corporate commodities price manipulation.

There’s a key to avoiding the short-term risk of copper futures investing. Rather than bidding on copper price in the stock market on a prediction of price rising or falling, you can buy physical copper significantly below copper market price so the risk of your investment is heavily avoided.

The key is investing in copper as an inflation beating commodity that is a base metal rather than precious metal. As a base metal, copper is known to be a necessary component in industries such as construction and machinery as well as other industries like electronics. As the world’s third most well used base metal, you have a safe long-term bet that copper will rise in value.

Understanding the value in a base metal demand and use proves the value in investing. To avoid the futures risk of short-term price fluctuations, invest in copper pennies below copper spot price. Copper pennies, minted by the United States Mint, are made of 95% copper and 5% zinc, making their intrinsic copper metal value over 2.5 times greater than their face value.

Of course, you could invest in copper bars, copper rounds, or other investment-grade forms of copper. As an investor (investment buyer), you are looking for the highest return in relation to safety for your wealth (risk versus reward).

As an investment products seller (investment product seller does not mean your investment broker but rather the company that is selling the product your broker suggests buying), coining investment terms surrounding investment products that are more expensive (cost more for less product) yields greater profit and return for the investment products seller. Therefore, investment grade copper products will be more expensive to the investor.

Your goal is to find the best investment product that suits your needs. Copper pennies are the ideal copper investment for wealth security in commodities. The best part about investing in copper pennies is you gain clear market recognition because pennies are easily distinguishable and recognized with guaranteed 95% copper purity by the United States Mint. Your copper pennies even hold their own insurance policy on their value. After all, a penny is worth at least penny.

Invest in copper pennies. Do some research on pricing before buying. Most importantly:

  • How & Why to Invest in Copper Bullion

    How to Invest in Copper Bullion


     

    Commodities Investing

    Forget investment grade copper with high premiums and copper rounds & copper bars selling for copper price plus a fee. There is an alternative that may surprise you:

    The United States penny. A unique investment in the United States penny, specifically the ones from 1982 and older made of 95% pure copper, will yield huge results. Here’s why:
     
     

    United States Dollar Has Lost 95% of its Value

     

    dollar devaluation The U.S. Dollar is historically known to have a start value of when the Federal Reserve took control of it in 1913. Due to inflationary and political practices of printing massive amounts of currency (think “Quantitative Easing” strategies) is known to be worth less than 95% of its original value. As a paper currency, the dollar bill loses value and is pegged to the face value of what is own the paper.

     
     

    Precious Metals and Copper

     

    Historical and recent price gains have brought to public attention precious metal investing of gold and silver. An overlooked asset by many is copper.

    Copper has huge demand in day-to-day manufactured items from automobiles, electronics, houses, and more. With inflation pushing metal prices up, world demand for copper use driving copper price up, and a devaluing U.S. dollar, copper is seen as a very durable and tangible safe haven for investing.
     
     

    Better than Copper Stock

     

    Coins are uniquely valued because they are made of metal and have an intrinsic value (a coin is worth its weight in the metal it is made of). Because of this, a copper penny made of 95% copper is worth over 2.5 times its face value in its metal value. This is because of the devalued value of the U.S. Dollar.

    A copper stock is not a real asset as you only own the promise of a payout. Copper pennies are tangible and real. You physically own them. Therefore, your investment in copper pennies is better than copper stock because once you have possession of them, they are yours to keep until you wish to sell them.
     
     

    Affordable Investing in Copper Versus Investment Grade Copper

     

    While many investors out there are picking up what is known as investment grade copper at high premiums, there is an very affordable alternative in copper pennies and copper bar drops.

    A copper penny has a face value of 1 cent but is worth over 2 cents. That means copper penny dealers that sell copper pennies as investments have lower cost per penny (1 cent plus overhead cost). Therefore, the copper penny can be sold for less than its actual copper metal value.

    Many investors may not be able to afford gold and silver, but copper in the form of copper pennies become very affordable. To those that do buy gold and silver, copper pennies make a very advantageous method for diversifying investment assets into the copper market at competitive pricing.

    Of course, if you’re looking for shorter term copper investments with a higher cost but higher copper purity then copper bars or copper punchings may be the best solution for you.
     
     

    The Catch with copper pennies

     

    Like any investment, there is always a catch. But this catch with copper pennies actually keeps the price lower for copper penny investor buyers. You can’t melt the copper penny due to U.S. law. Therefore, sellers trade below copper spot price.

    What does that mean? Buy low now, sell high later. If you’re looking to flip a quick dollar by melting copper pennies, copper pennies are not for you given it is illegal to do so.

    Any experienced coin metals investor will know that melting down coins for metal value or selling to a scrap yard yields lower profits than keeping the coin as a coin. This is because coins have market recognition because they are easily identifiable by potential buyers and the metal composition and purity is well known and accurate. Market recognition raises value and increase ease to sell.
     
     

    Copper Pennies: Time Sensitive & Price Proof

     

    Canada has eliminated the penny and will no longer mint the one cent coin. The United States cannot be far behind. This means investing in copper pennies is time sensitive.

    When the news that Canada eliminated the penny, the price of Canadian pennies and Canadian copper pennies skyrocketed. Therefore, investing in United States pennies below copper price will become limited and is a time sensitive investment.

    Not only is the Canadian penny elimination proof of a limited investing time, but also it is proof of value. Very little investments are certain and rarely can we, as investors, see into the future. In this case, we can see into the future and predict a similar outcome for the U.S. copper penny based on the Canadian copper penny (made of the same copper purity).

    If you’re looking to stabilize and diversify a financial portfolio, then you may just have found the most up-and-coming anticipated copper investment in the world.
     
     

    How Much Do Copper Pennies Cost

     

    The cost of buying copper pennies depends on the coin dealer. Like any investment, buying in bulk should always be cheaper.

    Invest in Copper Below Market Price


    Invest in Copper Below Market Price


     
     

    Have you ever read a news article on precious metals, like gold and silver, and metals, like copper, and wonder how successful people are buying them up as great investments? I’m sure you have. The key to remember is that the large-time investors securely buy commodities like gold, silver, and copper at very competitive pricing that is not generally available to the general public. This is due to a wealth of networking and connections.

    So how do you do what they do so you can make money too? Find a way to buy commodities below their price!

    Easier said than done. But in this case, it’s actually quite easy to do with U.S. copper pennies.
     
     

  • First, and foremost, let’s state the facts. Copper pennies are made of 95% copper and 5% zinc, minted 1982 and older. Every copper penny is worth more than its face value because of its copper metal value.
     

  • Second, and pricing-wise important, copper pennies are available to purchase below copper price for a limited time. Here’s why:
     
     

    It is illegal to melt the penny or export the penny. This is because the United States government knows the value of the copper penny exceeds the face value and, if legal, would be melted down, causing a shortage of pennies in the currency market. The result would be a need to mint more pennies, which currently costs 2.41 cents to create as of 2012. But most important, this is the best news possible for copper penny investor buyers.

    Illegal to melt may intrigue people as to how it is the best news and how they can get the value out of their copper penny if they can’t actually turn the copper penny into copper. To answer this, one may simply point to gold coins and silver coins. Gold and silver coins are traded above market price without ever being melted down. This is because of a number of factors, but the most important factor is Market recognition.
     
     

    Market Recognition

     

    If you see a silver bar, how do you know the purity and if it is not fraudulent? You’d have to be able to conduct tests, which the average consumer does not have the tools necessary to accomplish or desire to learn how. This means the ability to recognize the silver bar as being what it actually is may be difficult for the average person making the general market recognition poor.

    A coin minted by the U.S. Mint is easily recognized as such based on its size, weight, and design on the front and back. The content of the coin can be determined by reading the year the coin was minted. Even if a consumer does not know what years are silver, there are hundreds of sources for a consumer to look up the date based on the coin denomination and model to verify its silver content (if any). You will also know the quality (purity) of the coin is correct as the U.S. mint is required to create coins consistently.

    Market recognition means consumers can easily determine the value and purity of the coin making coins an ideal metal trading medium and a very high value market recognition item. This is the same for copper pennies as they are also easily recognized as a penny with a date to very the metal make of the coin.

     
     

    Advantages: Illegal to Melt

     

    Back to the conversation on why being illegal to melt pennies is the best news for copper penny investor buyers. Being illegal to melt makes the current trading price of copper pennies below copper market price. This means you can pay less money for a coin that is intrinsically worth more money. Yes, you cannot get your money back right away. But you’re reading this because you want to know how to preserve your hard earned money which means you aren’t looking for an exit strategy immediately.

    Even if you needed an exit strategy, copper penny sellers will buy your copper pennies or you can always trade on the general market as there are a number of people that do buy copper pennies. Though the real facts here are that you are looking to preserve your wealth and make a significant amount of money in the long-run based on a unique commodities market opportunity, not just turn a quick buck. So exit strategies are obvious once it is legal to melt and you can fully capitalize on your copper penny investment.

    And let’s not forget, a copper penny is a penny which is worth one cent. That means, unlike the stock market, you have a base floor value of your copper investment that your copper pennies cannot fall below.

     
     

    Why Invest in Copper Pennies

     

    So why buy copper pennies now, while it is illegal to melt? Because no one is going to sell you copper pennies below copper price once it is legal to melt. This is true not just when it is legal to melt, but as soon as it becomes publicly known that copper pennies have a end time line (ie: eliminated as a currency which is being discussed in Congress).
     

    It is either now or never. So take your pick, do your research, and find out if copper pennies is the right investment for you to break into the copper commodities market below copper price. Beat out everyone else to a niche market. After all, in the 1970s, silver coins were in the exact same situation (metal value beginning to exceed their face value). Now, a silver coin is worth over 2000% of its face value. Back then, it was a new niche market. If the saying goes of “History repeats” then you know you’re in for a great deal when buying copper pennies below copper market price.
