Design

An image of a prospector features on the obverse of 5 oz Copper Anonymous Mint Bars. This classic depiction shows the prospector just after he has struck gold. He is on one knee holding a sifting pan with one hand and his new treasure in the other. He is positioned holding the gold up towards the sky, perhaps to catch a better view of it in the sunlight. You will also find inscriptions on the obverse that AM, 5 OUNCES, .999 FINE COPPER, USA. You will find the reverse side is blank.

History

Copper was first discovered roughly 10,000 years ago in the Middle East. Records indicate that smelting copper began around 5000 BC thanks to a mace head uncovered in present-day Turkey. The forming of this highly malleable metal into tools and weapons propelled human civilization out of the Stone Age and into the Bronze Age. In modern civilization, copper still plays a crucial role. Some of its uses include construction, vehicles, appliances, and wiring. Copper is also an investment product, usually minted in bars and rounds. For anyone looking for an affordable way to diversify their portfolio, copper could be an excellent choice.
