PortlandMint.com is leading the way in copper penny investing. We are the first company of its kind to sell copper pennies to investors. We also are the only company to offer a storage option for copper penny investments.
All pennies minted in the United States prior to and during the first part of 1982 were composed of 95% copper and 5% zinc. After 1982 the composition of pennies was changed to 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. Due to the rising cost of copper, the copper penny is now worth almost double its face value.
Copper pennies are the most inexpensive form of copper bullion available. Pennies are viewed as a good investment choice by many metal investors. Pennies are a low risk investment because they always have a floor price, since the penny will be worth, at the very least, one penny. With ease of recognition and guaranteed purity, pennies are a great form of a copper bullion investment.
PortlandMint.com’s storage option for the 1 ton lots is perfect for the person who wants to own a position in real copper, but not have to deal with transportation or storage issues. This option is also 100% insured through the Lloyd’s of London. Not only is the copper insured it is also stored in a coin vault at an armored car facility.
Unlike ETF’s or other companies when you buy from PortlandMint.com you will be getting a product that is 100% real and fully backed. ETFs and other companies may only have a small percantage of their product on hand. This is important because if a small percentage of customers want to take possession of their investment, there will not be enough for everyone. With this company you will know that you will never have to worry about if you can actually get your copper or not.
