Yeah, not my thing.

I did a quick calculation on their offered 1 oz coins in USD - $3.99 coin has about $0.37 worth of copper at spot.

Convert to AUD, add postage & taxes, u will never see a positive ROI ( return on investment )

😞
 
The copper coins are good for souvenirs or as cheap gifts. Most if the cost for copper coins is in the dies and minting costs. The best way to stack copper is with pennies / cent coins.

:LOL:Cheap Gift. Mmm, I would hope that the recipient of the 1 oz Copper coin doesn't look up the actual Value of the Copper in the Gift :eek:

Maybe more than 1 Coin :unsure:
 
They're a pretty nice design, and gotta say I am tempted. It would pair well with Mt collection of Trump coins.
I just need to convince myself that the postage to Australia is worth it, or maybe you'll do free post on orders over $199 for us Aussies? 😜
82 bucks post for a couple of coins kinda kills it for me. I know that's just how it is, not blaming you, just sucks.

I paid $80 for a year of Amazon Prime.

I get free delivery ( I'm hitting about 2 per week )

Plus Movies.

Why does it cost $82 for a few coins from USA ?

:unsure:
 
I assume insurance for posting precious metals. BN just said their post costs have sky rocketed.
That's $82usd also, so $118aud.
Postage from America in general though is silly expensive, I was looking at a vintage tracksuit from the US, and postage was $72aud.

Mmm, ur definition of Copper as a Precious Metal ?

But yeah. USA Postage is Fucking ridiculous :eek:
 
I tried differnt things in the cart, I had a copper and 2 silvers in the cart, but postage was about the same when I had 20 coppers, so it isn't dependent on weight.
I see so many cool things from the US I want but can't justify due to postage.
