Investing in Bullion Clad?

[Digesting a common clad]

Gentlemen, with all threads on collecting clad pieces and the thread on copper being a precious metal it got be wondering does anyone here invest in Bullion Clad? *Puffs on cigar*


It seems the Best Clad would be the Large Ike dollar coin pieces.

LOL, no.

thats my opinion as well, but it seems some people are hoarding copper-nickel clad coins.

50cent says that the Ike dollars is the King of clads. It's funny how you sound just like him.

*Puffs on cigar* Okay!

Honestly, I see the keeping the Penny ( cent what ever) thing and I have a little stash of them myself because of the chance of being able to melt them, but anything else, I don't think it is worth it. I am not an expert though, I only collect Silver coins. Maverick.

Why invest in bullion clad when you can invest in other precious metals? You can get clad any time you'd like.

Guy, you still did not get back to my post on your previous thread, my post on your profile wall, or PM about me wanting to invest through your firm in the NYSE... I have a large chunk of green I would like to invest...

I hate to admit it, but......I got 'shammed' a couple of times buying coins, which were SUPPOSED to be the real McCoys. I kept them anyway, as a reminder.
(Sometimes I seem to run around with 'FOOL' stamped on my forehead, but I'm the only one who can't see it.)

*puffs on weed* (jk) i just like PM because they are used by the ounce and copper is by the pound.

i would rather have 1 ounce of silver than 10 pounds of copper ...

plus copper is FAR over priced

I wish I had the foresight to stash a brick of '83-P quarters back then.

No kidding, BU's are selling for $20+ a piece on eBay last time I checked

I own several beautiful one oz. copper rounds. A few are more than enough.

I think they are way overpriced that's why I don't buy them. If I could get some kilo bars a dollar or 2 over spot I would definitely get a few of those, but they are always way overpriced.

There's no point in "investing" in clad. An Eisenhower dollar is worth a whopping 18 cents in melt meaning you lose 82 cents+ on each one you melt. Investing in copper makes sense if you can get it for a low premium. Unfortunately, most of the bars/rounds that are for sale have such a large premium over the melt value that you might as well invest in silver by going down to Wal-Mart and buying their $20 thin sterling silver chains.

The way I figure it, there are 4 main asset classes to invest in:

1) Precious metals
2) International Real Estate
3) Base metals
4) Tangible assets (collector coins, art, jewellery, ivory, etc.)

But if you're overpaying for them (like you would by buying "bullion clad") you'd be better off not investing in them.

You're investing in collector coins with that roll though, not bullion

Investing in Clad bullion is kinda like dating your step sister.. Technically it's ok, but everyone knows it's just wrong...
