Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 05/15/2014 9:11 pm Is you weigh the coin planchet on the left, that would tell you if it was a type 1 (copper) or type 2 (zincoln). And the 1982 on the right, maybe was plated with something Report this Post to the Staff
Mr Click Pillar of the Community United States 964 Posts	Posted 05/15/2014 9:13 pm Someone told me that the 1982 was pure zinc. I don't know what to believe. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 05/15/2014 9:16 pm Its possible, but I would doubt it. Zincolns used in 1982 were a zinc core with a copper shell. 2.5 grams is the standard weight for Zincolns. Report this Post to the Staff
Mr Click Pillar of the Community United States 964 Posts	Posted 05/15/2014 9:23 pm Either way I was shocked and excited when I found it. I'll weigh it when I get a chance later. Edited by Mr Click 05/15/2014 9:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Mr Click Pillar of the Community United States 964 Posts	Posted 05/15/2014 9:30 pm Here is another cool coin I found. I actually have 3 of these. Tell me if you have ever found one of these or know anything about it. I kept dropping it because it sounded funny. Finally it broke open. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 05/15/2014 9:38 pm those are called Magician's coins. Hollowed to either put another coin or note inside. Might have been for a spy to carry secrets, but most commonly a Magician's coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Kenton Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 05/15/2014 10:08 pm many of the 'hollow coins' I have found had normal reverses, but rotated. I think they are counterfeit rotated die coins. I was really excited after finding one, but alas, all was not right. Report this Post to the Staff
Mr Click Pillar of the Community United States 964 Posts	Posted 05/15/2014 10:11 pm @Kenton Yeah, I found a Bi-Centennial Half with the eagle in the back. At first I thought it was an error! nope. Report this Post to the Staff
