| | |   Copper "ingot". Described as an "ingot" by the seller, this is actually a piece of rolled copper bar cut to length.  It was being promoted as being suitable for investment purposes, but while the price of copper has gone up a lot, it's really not a commodity you can practically invest in in its physical form: The cost of moving it around would swamp any likely profit.
