    Description

    This is an old cast copper "CR" hump ingot made at the former White Pine copper mine at White Pine, Michigan.
    Copper Range owned the property.
    These were made by pouring a small quantity of molten copper into one of the humps of a 3-hump mold used for casting the big industrial ingots.
    It weighs 6.2 pounds and has a nice color; shown next to a half dollar; about 5-5/8 inches long, 3-1/4 inches wide and 1-3/8 inches thick.
    Ingots were being poured up until 1982 when the mine began producing pure copper by the electrolytic process.
    See my book for pictures and information,
    White Pine Copper: An Illustrated History of the Mine and Its Ingots.
    This book is available from my ebay store.
    The White Pine mine produced over 4 billion pounds of copper and 45 million ounces of silver from 1955 to 1995.
    Shipped by padded flat rate envelope.
