No respectable yard should have a problem showing you what type of metal you have. I always prove grading to my customers so they can be further educated. It makes life easier for both parties and eliminates any thoughts of foul play.

If they don't want to show you, chances are they're buying your #1 for #2 price. Yards that have to lie to their customers to make a profit don't deserve your patronage.
Well, their copper #1 price was better than everybody, but now it's obvious why... they probably don't give it often.
Those bars were about 80lbs of copper in total.. Oh well..
