    copper around here is 210 for #2 were he sells it at plus its someone I deal with a lot this would not be such a higher trade but its something I wanted to add to my collection for awhile I love the fun things and coins made from silver soon it will exceed 2000ozs all from copper and alu as I use 50 percent of what I make and by silver 25 percent into business growth and 25 percent for bills or me lol I travel just 40 miles and sell for 2.80lb but most of the people I know scrapping will not do this so I get a lot of trades this way. years ago I even bought when copper was just 70cents at a high around here a fun buy of a monster box unopened at the time which in this buy I had to open it so as not to get ripped off of 500oz of rocks but of rounds I do like calling them coins though lol and bought it for just over $2lb at $80 which was $100 he wanted but I told him I was buying for copper and it was a lot more than going to the junk yard. even back then it was a lot less I was offering but he wanted to sell and I was the only one willing to buy cause at the time I knew these were some what popular but did not know how huge they are and even more today. after I reach 2000oz though I will be buying some big things like expanding my business but first buying a good trailer so will stop for awhile.
