Depends on what kind of letterpress you are trying to make. Different metals have different tolerance in pressing (lasting a while).
Copper is easy to make but wont last long. I wouldnt start with and solid metal per say because you need to have full set up with different mixture to find a good balance.
I started using silver, little more expansive but more durable then copper and melts easily.
Also, melting any metal is not something you do over the stove top or on bbq grill. You need a lot more heat then that.
