Take off the blue glasses.
"Profit begins when you buy NOT when you sell." {quote passed down to me from a wise man}
Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
If you compress it, it might turn a reddish tone.
Just toss it in your copper barrell. If your yard has a problem with it, take it out and re-weigh.

Dull blue or bright? Dull blue might be corrosion. Rub the wire with fine sandpaper.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

I believe that is a blue colored varnish insulation.

Yep, Copper, it's a winding,,

Just the color of the wire, some blue, some red, some green, I sell it as #2 copper. Even if it's copper color it's still #2 copper becuase it's too thin to be #1

All colors go into my #2 copper bucket.
