A recent surge in copper prices has resulted in unprecedented demand for the rust-colored metal. Though not classified by most as a precious metal, the increasing value of copper bullion is undeniable to most. The result has been a growth in the availability of copper rounds, bars, and other bullion products for investors to choose from in the market. The 10 oz Copper Bullion Cube is one such example now available to purchase from JM Bullion.
Cube Highlights:
- Arrives in protective plastic.
- Cube shape with rough finish!
- Contains 10 oz of .999 pure copper.
- Engravings on top reflect Copper’s square on the Periodic Table.
There is a history to copper in human civilization as rich as that of gold and silver. While the latter two have long been used to store and protect wealth, copper served countless purposes. Ancient civilizations used copper for everything from weaponry to plates and utensils.
Today, copper is used in two major components of everyday life. The high conductivity of copper made it excellent for use in electrical wiring in homes, and was so commonly used and in such high demand that robbers began stealing copper piping and tubing from abandoned homes in the 21st century. It is also used for water piping due to its resistance to corrosion.
These 10 oz Copper Bullion Cubes contain a total of 10 ounces 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 exists as a pure metal in the natural world. Its high conductivity and resistance to corrosion made it the perfect alloy in coins. Many modern circulation coins feature copper alloys because it allows the products to stand up to the tests of handling while in circulation.

“These are really cool I love the rough finish and the CU info displayed on them. Looks great on my desk, and I even bought an extra to give as a gift (and they loved it, too).”
