Copper was one of the first metals mankind ever worked with in a manner that transformed the metal itself. Struck as an alloy of other metals, copper was used in everything from plates and bowls in the homes of pharaohs and kings, to armor and weaponry that made the difference between victory and defeat on ancient battlefields.
Today you are most likely to find copper in wiring and piping inside homes, due mostly to its high conductivity and corrosion resistance. In fact, copper was a popular choice in ancient currency as well because it was more resistant to wear and tear than other metals, notably silver and gold.
These 1 oz Copper Bullion Bars available from JM Bullion contain 1 AVDP oz of .999 pure copper, and are investment-grade bars. On the obverse face of the bar you’ll find the so-called “elemental” design concept. A popular approach on bullion bars, this design uses the Copper block from the Periodic Table of Elements in the design.
Engravings on this face of the bar center on copper’s square from the Table of Elements, which includes copper’s number, its periodic shorthand code “Cu,” and the atomic weight of the metal. The weight, purity, and metal content of the bar are engraved below that, along with markings indicating it was struck in the United States.
The 1 oz Copper Bullion Bars available right now are brand-new products to JM Bullion courtesy of Czar Metals, a private facility located in the state of Tennessee.

“Nice little bar, weights a hint over one ounce but that could just be my scale being inaccurate. Smaller than i thought but still a good looking design bit hard to see but overall pretty good.”
