    I had noticed that a while back and now we are separating the ones that have the copper base with aluminum fins from the straight aluminum heat sinks. I'm still trying to find an easy way to remove the aluminum fins though. Sometimes you can break them off but it is very time consuming.

    Some yards will buy it as #1

    I clamp mine down and go at it with a chisel and hammer. A couple of good hits usually is enough.
