When it comes to the modern market for metals, copper tends to find itself on the outside looking in. While gold, silver, and platinum are grouped together and viewed as precious metals, copper is still viewed as a commodity rather than a precious metal despite its rising status as a possible investment precious metal. The 1 Pound Copper Bullion Cube is helping change that, and is available for purchase today online from JM Bullion.

Cube Highlights:

• Arrives in protective plastic.
• Cube shape with rough finish!
• Contains 1 Pound (16 ADVP oz) of .999 pure copper.
• Engravings on top mimic Copper’s square on the Periodic Table.

Each of the 1 Pound Copper Bullion Cubes in this product listing is a new product to JM Bullion. These cubes offer a unique means of investing in metals, with a roughly-finished copper bullion product that takes advantage of the rising value of this particular metal.

These 1 Pound Copper Bullion Cubes contain roughly 16 ADVP oz of pure copper, and make an excellent option for those looking alternatives to copper rounds and bars. Each one has a design on the top face of the cube that has been engraved with the full square and information from Copper’s place on the Periodic Table of Elements.

Included in the design is the atomic number of copper, 29, along with its standard atomic weight of 63.546, and its listing of Cu from the table. Other markings include the weight in ounces, the name “Copper,” and the melting point in Celsius of copper.

Copper was first used by mankind in 8,000 BC, but it was not smelted from its ore until 3,000 years later. Copper was, in many ways, the first metal to mark mankind’s advancement. Not only was it the first metal used by humans, it was the first smelted, the first to be cast in shapes and molds, and the first to be alloyed with another metal on purpose, in the creation of bronze.

Today, copper is commonly found in homes and various other industries. A soft, malleable metal with high electrical and thermal conductivity, it was popular in the use of electrical wiring and water piping. It is also an essential metal to living organisms as a trace dietary mineral with trace respiratory enzyme complexes.
