Could This Really Be A Brass Penny?

Buying a one cent Item for 100 cents is 99 cents of loss. That's the game of the uninformed. Why I hate it and give appropriate comments to sellers of so-called error coins like this on eww-boy and other venues. It is very important to be informed, way to many smucks trying to make a killing onthose folks who don't really know. It is sad. Let this be a lesson learned, and yes, it was only a buck, some make thousand dollar bad deals...daily.

ia It's a regular 95% copper cent. Millions were minted in 1982. But this one is still in a very good condition, so it's not too bad.

consider the 99 cent 'learning money', as in: ignore the writing on the flip. Everyone can put anything there, but that doesn't make it necessarily true. Somehow the coin hobby seems to inspire people to come up with the most creative stories about the history of some pieces: inherited from a grandparent, in the family for years, given by a mysterious indian who had traveled to Egypt, handed by general De Gaulle himself on a purple pillow while wearing a bunny suit, etc. In the end it's the coin that matters, not the story.

to CCF. There are known "brass plated" cents. Yours is not one of these,but wanted you to know such a thing is out there.http://koinpro.tripod.com/Brass.htm

Look , every Lincoln Cent collector knows there can be many shades of this coin mainly due to it's environment .
There is no solid brass Lincoln trial cent of 1982 . The term brass and copper were used loosely for early to mid Wheaties . BTW , to the forum .

Once a French lady showed me her collection, which included several gold coins. She then told me that she had something very rare and valuable that had been given to her by a visitor from America, who had told her that only a few of this particular coin had been made... I was quite intrigued. She unlocked a little jewellery box and got out... a tarnished 1964 Kennedy half in about XF condition!
