Always copy the charts as chart object (black handles) and not as general objects (white handles).
To copy a chart to the clipboard, right click the chart object (black handles) and select copy.

You can make an exact copy of an existing chart by holding down the Ctrl key, selecting the chart and dragging it with the mouse.
If your chart exists on a chart sheet then you need to copy the whole sheet.
For more information about copying sheets, please refer to the Copying Sheets page.
