Poll: How many pounds of 999 NI do YOU have?

[68Camaro]

Checked today and found out that the electroplating lab at work has a barrel of them that they haven't used in 15 years because they now use bars. Unfortunately I love my job too much to think about borrowing some of them. I did tell the mgr to let me know if they ever surplus them.

I presume you all are seeking Nickel at far under spot, elsewise, if you want physical nickel, you can buy nickel pellets. I found out in searching that what I used to know as Inco is now part of Vale, though the website is still inco.com.

Coins of known and verifiable purity and weight (via the RCM) are more desirable than "pellets" methinks

You can't spend pellets in a pinch either.

I started 5 months ago. I sort 100 dollars per week, with 10-12% nickel content, I was able to get to the 100 pounds point.

I have 10 pounds of .999 but would like to get some more at a reasonable price.

I only own 5 troy ounces. Are you planning to burgle my apartment?

[PreservingThePast]

<1 lb

I'm in the same boat as Roadrunner; however, it is not for lack of trying. I save every one I come across. They are just very scarce here in Central Florida.

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone.

100+ lbs.

I have been out of the game for awhile because my daughter came down with croop, then I got the flu. I think the Canadian .999 nickel is the best.

I just got my 5 ounces from coppercave. I'd like to buy more, but ata price closer to spot. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!! TX

Thanks!! TX

And obviously now the copper cave appears to be well stocked with nickels

It seems like a lot of people go there to buy nickel in one and five pound bags.

Also for those who like the ugly abes, there are the ugly queens

:drooling: @ Nate's pic

[999Ni]

can't wait to buy some

[999Ni]

do you guys think that the "ugly queens" would sell the same down the road as pristine 999 nicks? kinda like how tarnished silver sells at about the same price as shiny silver?

edit: down the road if nickel explodes of course...
