- The copper contained $1,000 face value of pre-1983 U.S. Lincoln pennies is now worth about $2,200.
- Yet you can still buy these appreciating 95% pure copper U.S. legal tender coins at – or very near – absolute melt value.

ALSO: Gleaming 1 oz. Copper Rounds – Any Design, Under a Buck Apiece
Money Metals offers gleaming 1 oz. copper round from U.S. mints in five simply beautiful designs.
Copper rounds are not always bought for investment purposes. That's not to say that investment isn't also a possibility, but the cost of fabricating a 1 oz round relative to the metal value makes them expensive compared to copper pennies.
That said, Money Metals pays a large premium to buy them back. And it is hard to beat shiny brand new copper rounds when it comes to beauty and appeal.
Copper rounds are often more popular with collectors. They enjoy getting rounds stamped with a variety of designs – each carrying special historic meaning and significance. You can find anything from Native American portraits, Lady Liberty, and other designs taken from popular coins.
Our price is the same no matter which of the five stunning designs you choose – just 95 cents each when you purchase 1,000 1 oz. rounds (slightly higher for smaller quantities). Copper rounds are sold in sealed mint tubes of 20. Order securely at MoneyMetals.com
