How big is your stack?

Postby Sullysullinburg » Mon Dec 01, 2014 8:32 am

I'm curious to see how much copper you guys have (I'm planing to get one ton of copper pennies) and might keep track month to month or something.

I was up to $10,000 face but sold it off a couple of years ago, couldn't resist $155 per CTU. Now I'm down to maybe
1.5 CTU's

Size doesn't matter. :P :roll:

I don't even know how to quantify mine, not that it is huge, but am I supposed to include nickels (which are 75% copper)?

However, I do have a story. A friend of mine sold about 4-5 bags of 5,000 wheat cents to a man who said he had a lot more in his vault. How much? He has a container which is made of walls that are 4" thick lucite. It is 12 feet long, about 5' wide and 4' high. He said he has a whopping 10 million wheat cents in the container! $100,000 face value in pennies is staggering!

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.

I am always a buyer if the price is right.



My stack is fairly large. :thumbup:

I am at about 1850 lbs already sorted. I have about $5,000 in bricks that need to be hand sorted. I have weighed them so I know that there is about 27% copper in them. So that is about another 925 lbs of copper that is mixed in with the zincs. I really thought that the gov. would get rid of the penny after canada did, so I picked up as many bricks as I could. But now I am thinking that we will never get rid of the penny.

Now that is a jaw dropper for sure! It's hard for me to grasp that many wheaties in one person's possession.

I honestly don't know how much I have. Let's say a large wheelbarrow's worth.

Not enough to fill a wheelbarrow, but more than I can carry by hand in one trip.
Silver Monometalism is the most permanent and stable form of money the world has seen. Natural law and history prove silver value is best multiplied by gold and best divided by copper. It is only in this counterfeit currency time when the natural law appears suspended.

As far as US coppers, I don't have a whole lot of them anymore, save the ones I find in change.....my Canadian mini-hoard is much larger though. I'm guessing maybe 100lbs?
