Find a materials science text book. It should have properties of metals, such as brass, which is a common copper alloy.

Google on "Density of Brass".

Google on "Brass products" and find a supplier of brass products.

Use something like 8-8.6 g/cc.

The most common brasses are red brass (~15% Zn) with a density of about 8.75 and yellow brass (~35% Zn), with a density of about 8.47 g/cc.
