I have this 5 lb copper cube that I am looking to move. Can anyone give me an idea of what it is worth?

I'll give you $20 for it.

That's an impressive hunk of metal!
I knew it would happen.
It is an impressive hunk of metal -- probably the side is about 2.5 inches?
It looks like @cohodk is offering spot!
Several years ago, someone posted a picture of Thomas Edison’s cubic foot of copper. I have not seen it, but apparently it is on display at the Edison Museum in New Jersey. It must be quite a sight.
That's nice!
$25, to be top bidder for a cool cube.

That is the first one I have seen.... Is it a commercial offering from some firm? Cheers, RickO
Purchased from AMEX or Providence. It was a while ago. I do not remember which one. I paid more than $25 so I will keep it. Thanks everyone.

Wild guess: I wouldn’t be surprised if you could get $100 on Ebay.
I think the forum members are being a bit facetious with their $20 and $25 bids.
Shipping would be problematic.
Does it come in silver? or gold?
I'll go $25 and throw in an extra $2 for shipping. 5LBs in the mail can't be cheap. THKS!
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
I'd offer even more plus s&i in a flat rate box but something like this would sell for even more on ebay
During one demo at a giant mansion years ago the contractor pulled out hundreds and hundreds of pounds of old thick wall copper pipe for scrap. The mansion used a boiler and copper pipe to heat the whole mansion. Seemed like miles of copper. He made a ton$$$ even when copper was $1 a pound. Did I say I like copper?

It'a novelty for sure and not very pure.
A quick search of ebay shows these designs in 5 ounces and 1 pounds being sold but no 5 pound examples.

Luceteria has a 50mm cube for $81. Does not mention weight.
https://luciteria.com/metal-cubes/copper-cube
The Luciteria cube should be a little shy of two and a half pounds.
By the way, they seem to have the centimeter cube of rhodium in stock. Around a third of an ounce for $ 22,000!
Thank you for the link! Very fun Luceteria website with detailed explanation of each metal.
I agree. What an interesting website!
Click on this link to see my ebay listings.
I’m gonna probably buy a few cubes from them as I support their educational approach to metals.
And they are located in one of the cooler states in the Union!
This is another good, one, plus they have a coin series!

I like these and have some of their precious metal coins.
It's all about what the people want...
I already have enough to keep me busy, but this site is tempting.
