    #1 no solder or paint or anything. Just copper (tubing or other.... But stripped wire should get you a higher price that #1 as 'bare bright')



    #2 same as #1 but allowed to have solder on it

    Usually if I have copper pipes I cut off all the joints where there is solder and all that goes as #2 (or sometimes the joints are brass) and then the rest (clean copper pipe) goes as #1. The pricing difference isn't HUGE but usually worth the few seconds to do some separating for a few extra cents per lb


    Currently prices at my yard are

    Bare bright $2.70/lb
    #1 $2.65/lb
    #2 $2.45/lb
    Sheet/light copper $2.30/lb
