Haven't bought nickel since March, got a bit of a surprise when I ordered some today. $7.20/lb for 551 lb cans of 99.99 INCO pellets! Last time I bought, it was around $5/lb.

| So, you might have some bullion for sale? Some of us can't afford a 551# drum... |

| I buy for my biz, not for personal use. When I buy copper chops for my personal hoard, I make a separate line item on the PO for the amount I want to buy, separate for what will be used by the company, so everything is above board and I keep my receipts. I then reimburse the accounting gal for the amount. Haven't done so yet for nickel. I am considering that, as I know a couple people who have expressed an interest in buying small quanities of nickel. |

| I heard the only way you can kill a Realcenter when they are in the possessed coin-sorting stage is with a nickel bullet. |
And he that hath lyberte ought to kepe hit wel / For nothyng is better than lyberte / For lyberte shold not be wel sold for alle the gold and syluer of all the world.
-Caxton's edition of Aesop's Fables, 1484 |

It looks much like shot metal only a bit bigger (.25 to .8 inches in diameter).
Good post. I buy primarily from ASI through a distributor (Carpenter Bros.), but sometime through Miller & Co. Many years ago, when I ran an 5-ton electric arc furnace, we'd use 99.9 nickle pig for our alloy irons. The pigs were roughly pyramidal in shape and weighed around 8-10 lbs each. Very convenient, you could pick them up with the crane magnet, just like steel scrap or regular pig iron. I wish a had a couple of those now, just for a conversation piece! |
