COPPER vs SILVER -- My thoughts.

![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmdRUnVLA8235g3oAtSfUcWVNTHUJdGxroHUHLFcgGb8Je)

I end up with a lot of pennies to stack since I'm one of THOSE PEOPLE THAT STILL USE CASH, and I also have a few Bitcoin copper rounds.

While it's a good idea to stack any sort of metal to preserve value... *copper?*

Copper bullion online has a far lower price than buying silver, but the PREMIUMS are crazy!

Copper right now goes for **$0.19**, meaning that the premiums are four times the price!

And copper turns dark and a gross green over time, *gross*. Too much space and not enough precious. 🤓 

Thoughts on copper? Do you STACK COPPER with ya silver?

We love copper! We use it in art and it also looks great when it is in a piece with other metals

The premium on copper is RIDICULOUS.  I buy copper just to add some variety to my collection, but paying several dollars for one ounce of copper that should only cost $0.19 is tough to justify. It's nice for gifts or pocket pieces, I will say that much!  Silver is definitely my metal of choice though. Thanks for sharing this geekboy76!
