If you are buying or selling copper scrap, the price is lower than bronze ingot, but about the same as bronze scrap at about US$ 2.60 to $2.40 per pound.

Why is bronze cheaper? Mostly it is due to market demand and availability of scrap supply. Bronze apparently is much easier to get as scrap than either pure copper or tin. Tin is priced at US $4.04 per lb.
Bronze contains tin and copper. Some bronzes contain aluminum and copper, or silicon and copper, or nickel and copper. Brass is sometimes referred to as commercial bronze and it is made from copper and zinc. Brass is selling around US $2.50 per pound.

The component metals copper and thin has almost the same value, but I believe thas Bronze worths more, due the work involved to make the alloy.

Bronze is the alloy of copper and zinc. Both are very corrosion resistant. They have found bronze bells from ships that have gone down hundreds of years ago.
