With the rise in price of Silver bullion and Gold bullion, there is growing interest in more non-traditional bullion products. Most of that interest has been centered squarely on Copper. With Coppers long history as a coining metal, early Roman coins were primarily copper, along with its myriad of modern uses in just about every industry,
copper is a natural choice for “poor mans gold”. There are many options these days if interested in investing in Copper bullion. From 15 kilo slabs of Copper to 1 gram bullion art bars, there is a product for any size budget. Copper bullion works just about like Silver and Gold bullion. In that the larger piece you purchase the cheaper per unit it will be. The trade off of course is that the larger pieces are not as readily traded as some of the fractional Copper bullion. The most popular Coper bullion over the last year seems to be 1 oz and smaller pieces. There are some really really nice 1 oz coins and bars being produced in numerous mints around the world. A few rules about Copper bullion to get you started. Just like Silver and Gold, Copper bullion should be “hallmarked” with the type of metal it contains as well as the purity and the weight. Thats all there is to it!
