60 Centuries of Copper: Its Effect on Copper Mining
The cost of copper, in those days, was very great. In 1714 cake copper, unrefined, fetched £100 per ton, and plates as they came from the battery works cost £140 to £150 per ton. In 1694 Swedish copper, which was then regarded as high quality, cost £168 per ton. These figures, currency for currency, far exceed modern prices.
