A better way of investing in copper

I had bought a couple of copper rounds at the coin shop I have been dealing with. I thought they were neat and had cool designs on them. Pretty much on a whim. Paid $2 for the 1oz and $1 of the 1/2 oz. Found what the price of copper is and realized that I had paid way too much. Oh well, a $3 learning experience.

I have been looking at bullion on ebay and found that the copper has a rediculous markup. Right around double the per lb price. Is there anyway to get it cheaper or does copper bullion just demand that kind of markup?
