    Question What is the dark coloured copper called

    Hey all i was just wondering what the darker coloured copper is called?
    I sometimes get the dark copper from pulling apart electric motors and TVs
    monitors which i rarely pull apart due to the risk of being shocked electrocuted.

    The last time which was the first time i went to my local scrap dealer i made the
    big mistake of mixing the darker colored copper in with the brighter stuff and instead
    of getting $6.00 a kilo for the brighter stuff he only gave me $5.00 a kilo for all
    of my copper which is what the darker stuff is worth. in the end i had a total of 13 kilo's
    of copper for which i got $89.90 for, so this time around i am being very careful to not mix
    it in together and keeping it in seperate bags.

    Cheers take care all thecritta
