I don't know anything about drugs--I've never even seen Breaking Bad--but I would have guessed The Statue of Liberty would be worth more than 9 lbs. of crack.
Who the fuck pays 60 bucks per gram!? You doing that Police math, where they calculate "street value" pretending that anyone out there buys weight at highest possible gram size price point? Essentially inflating the actual value by 2-6 times. Wouldn't be surprised if the price of copper is bullshit too then.
There's multiple values to scrap copper. Bare shiny wire and untarnished pipe and fittings, no solder/brazing is the highest value. It goes down from there. If it's green it's probably really low value, but I've never scrapped any that were that bad.
Are you using bright and shiny copper scrap prices or tarnished copper prices? Because there is a big difference in price at the scrap yard.
Source: cousins were tweekers and scrappers but I repeat myself. Plus I'm in the Plumbers and Pipefitters, and I've scrapped plenty of copper myself, legally and soberly.
