AN OXYMORON OF A ROUND!

avatar

I am a silver and gold stacker, but had an opportunity to add some copper to my stack as well. I recently ordered some silver and copper through Golden State Mint and happened on this copper round that is truly an oxymoron.

I purchased and received this 2 ounce copper round. (I researched and found that copper is weighed in AVDP otherwise known as regular ounces, not troy ounces, so based on that info, regular ounces are what I'm referring to here) I actually got just a hair over the 2 ounces (yes, obverse and reverse weigh the same @stokjockey👍😎) .

The oxymoron to this is that it shows a nicely done bull on the obverse with the Periodic Table of Elements symbol for silver, Ag, lol! The symbol for copper is Cu.

The back shows the Silver Shield of Golden State Mint, along with the year, AVDP ounce measurement, and .999 purity.

Just a little diversity for my stack, but it is also nice to look at.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave comments below. Have a wonderful day! 🤗😘🤗👍💪🌺

Pretty cool, although very strange that one side claims to be silver!

Hence the oxymoron, lol! Maybe they got confused? My husband asked me if I was sure it was copper, and it is. Thanks for commenting and have a good night!

Hehehe... you are right, it should be CU, haha!!! It is a lovely design. They obviously used the same dies from the silver round, LOL.
Have a wonderful evening sis, @elizabethbit, and take care 🥰🌺🤙 and love always 🤗

I like the idea of diversification and copper rounds are part of it. Another way to stack copper is simply keeping all your nickels...

I love me some copper @elizabethbit and a two ounce round is my favorite size! What is that stamp on the back that says "2ND"?

The Golden State Mint put that on it; only reason I can think of is that is was sort of on 'clearance' or I think they call them 'deals'. Not really sure why. I did send an email to them asking but never got a response. Thanks for commenting and have a good day! Stay safe!

I've always loved the Silver shield Obverse, I think it's worth getting just for that side alone. We hope there will be that there will be that big bull for the silver we hold. May your coins be always shiny, Thanks for sharing @elizabethbit
