A Texas-Shaped Letter in the Middle of STACKING
The Texas Stacking Across America 1 oz Copper Bar spells STACKING with a small outline of the state standing in for the missing letters, colored like the Texas flag, set right between STAC and KING. A red brushstroke and a lone white star cross the top corner, over a blue sky that fades into a desert mountain silhouette. It holds one avoirdupois ounce of .999 fine copper.
The Design
TEXAS runs across the top of the obverse in white block letters, under a red diagonal stroke carrying a single white star. STAC and KING sit in bold black letters with a small Texas outline between them, done in the state flag’s own blue, white, and red. A line of dark mountains crosses the lower half, and The Lone Star State runs in a white script banner above a corner tab reading 2027, styled like the plate’s registration sticker. A star and mountains, doing the work of naming the state. The reverse drops the color entirely: an engraved American flag with a dashed road line running through the stripes, and STACKIN’ ACROSS AMERICA across the lower half.
An Avoirdupois Ounce, Not a Troy Ounce
The reverse marks the weight as 1oz AVDP. That’s the avoirdupois ounce, the one a kitchen scale reads in, not the troy ounce that silver and gold bullion is weighed in. A different ounce, so this bar and a 1 oz silver bar do not sit on a scale the same way, even with the same “1 oz” printed on both.
Copper’s own metal value is small next to what a colorized, designed bar like this one costs. Priced for the design, not the copper inside it, true of colorized copper collectibles as a category, not a knock on this piece specifically.
How It’s Marked
AVDP and .999 CU are engraved into the reverse itself, beside the flag, not printed on a separate card. Stamped into the metal, so the bar in hand reads the same as the description of it.

Texas Stacking Across America Copper Bar FAQ
Is this real .999 copper?
Yes. .999 CU is engraved directly into the reverse. .999 fine copper, marked on the bar itself.
Is an avoirdupois ounce the same as a troy ounce?
No. Silver and gold bullion is weighed in troy ounces, and this bar is marked 1oz AVDP, the avoirdupois ounce. Two different ounces, so a weight comparison across metals needs the conversion, not just the number on the label.
What’s the small icon in the middle of STACKING?
It’s an outline of Texas, colored like the state flag, standing in for the letters between STAC and KING. A state-shaped letter, doing double duty as decoration and as part of the word.
Is this bar worth its price in copper?
No. Copper’s melt value is small, and a colorized bar like this one is priced for the design, not the metal. That’s true of colorized copper collectibles generally, not specific to this one.
Is this part of a larger series?
The reverse names it Stackin’ Across America, a series built around state license plate designs. Named on the bar, one state per release.
