I have been searching with little luck. Pure nickel bars are out there, but nowhere even close to 30% over melt. I have only found one place that has online ordering for small quantities, and it runs $44/pound + shipping. Larger quantities from industrial suppliers obviously have better pricing, but larger minimums. Nickel pellets/shot is available for less than bars, but still probably more than double the spot price.
The many factors that cause copper bars to cost much more than the paper spot price seem to apply to nickel as well.
Not only that, but 100 rounds equals 1 pound and you get to look at all those sexy beavers.

All I have found are the 1 troy Oz. bars from The Cohen Mint. But it costs more than spot per pound.
It will always cost more than spot per pound to get physical metals in a nice finished bar form. The problem with the Cohen nickel bars is that they are only 20% nickel.
Yeah calling it that nickel bullion when its 80% Cu is kinda I have a hard time considering anything with less than ninety percent purity bullion. Especially when it's 4/5 copper and only that tiny bit nickel.
Where can you get nickel shot from?

I love .999 fine nickel!!! and 100 per lb coins are the perfect size! Will be great for bargaining later! And don't forget...150 copper US cents equals one lb. Not quite as convenient, but still a good number. Especially since 10 of them equal a troy ounce!!
