What's the cheapest way to get a good-sized copper ingot or bar??

I've heard of ways to find 1/10 toz copper at only about $1.50 per pound. It's only 95% pure, though.

What's good sized?

Cathode

Post in the wanted section how big you want it to be and what you are willing to pay.

Can it be crude or do you want one of those fancy polished ones? :mrgreen:

Good sized...bigger than those two and three ounce bars on eBay.

Crude....probably, I kind of like those "rougher" bars with the varying colors as the light hits it. I think MH used to have one on his site, I forget what the section was called, but the casting had gone wrong and it was on discount. I looked at it several times....and one day it was gone. Oh well, you snooze you lose!!

I don't want to pay too much due to the limited resale value, just talking about a conversation piece/novelty here.

That sounds familiar... I'll have to look into that. ;)

Market Harmony sells them. May be currently be out though. Refining costs are NOT cheap though when dealing with copper so don't stay I didn't warn you.
