Wow !! even copper as plentiful as it seems to be in the earth, takes a hell of a lot of labour ,resources and energy to get it out of the ground and into something useful.
No wonder they stoped making copper pennies and coins.
The earliest know metal that started us humans on the metallurgy path...
There are some Interesting theories about how we discovered it
Be sure to check your pennies as you will probably triple your value soon, keep that copper wire and piping,
Not as cool as silver and gold mind you but, ill be damed if i pass up on some cheap/free copper these days
Kind of sad tho about the amount of pollution and waist involved in mining and smelting it, another reason we dont want to waist it...
Enjoy the video
I agree with the assessment of copper prices rising, as all commodities will be going into an inflation cycle. Remember the days where copper was over $4, and thieves were electrocuting themselves stealing live circuits just to steal copper. But copper is heavy, just as silver is also bulky to keep in any volume. The cost of everything will be based on the cost of energy needed to extract the commodity. Such as the about to energy required to solve bitcoin equations to get a digital commodity. Good post.
more then likely
Copper is a fantastic metal! I get it everywhere I can
yea, a little under rated i think
I have been pulling Copper Pennies and setting them off to the side for a few years now.
keep on stacking
