The meteoric rise of gold, silver, and platinum prices in recent years has left one popular precious metal hiding in the shadows. Investors have turned their attention to the former metals, while largely ignoring the increasing value of copper. A number of private mints around the globe produce copper rounds and bars, and today JM Bullion offers a ½ Pound Copper Bullion Bar for investors.

Bar Highlights:

• Contains ½ pound, or 8 AVDP oz of .999 pure copper.
• Available in a variety of designs.
• Bars ship in sealed plastic to protect condition.
• Privately minted in the United States.
• Ships in brand-new condition.

Copper is often overlooked as a precious metal because of its more popular use as an industrial metal. While gold and silver are used largely within the jewelry and precious metal (coin, bar, and round) markets today, copper is used both in the production of bullion bars and commemorative rounds.

As an industrial metal, copper has played a huge role in human history. It was first used as far back as 9,000 BC to create armor, jewelry, and even everyday plates and utensils. It was also used as an alloy to create new materials such as brass and bronze. Today, it is commonly used in construction for piping and electrical wiring due to its electrical and thermal conductivity and resistance to corrosion.

JM Bullion has a variety of ½ Pound Copper Bullion Bars available for purchase today. There are numerous designs in our warehouse, but there are two worth highlighting in this listing. One popular example uses the Bitcoin digital currency as a design feature on the obverse. This bar features the image of the digital currency, along with a giant QR code that includes the bar’s weight and metal features.

The other popular design currently available features the copper listing from the periodic table of elements. Included in the design is the square from the table, which includes the Cu listing for copper, as well as its number in the table. Additional engravings include the bar’s weight, metal content, purity, and origin as “U.S.A.”

JM Bullion cannot guarantee the design you’ll receive today with your purchase of a ½ Pound Copper Bullion Bar. You will receive what is available at the time of fulfillment, but rest assured that your bar will be in brand-new condition regardless of specific design.
