Spence Moderator United States 34455 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 8:50 pm @red, without more info, it is a little hard for us to help you. I see some weakness of the reverse strike, but not much else. Please describe for us what you are seeing with the coin in hand. Thx.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 9:11 pm Might I suggest that you retake your photographs, having the camera directly over the coin's surface rather than from an angle. As is, I have to agree with Spence, I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Please describe what you see going on. Edited by merclover 02/12/2021 9:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 99100 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 9:48 pm Well it is a 1982 large date cent. weather it is copper or zinc - it needs to be weighed. a copper cent is at 3.11 grams and a zinc at 2.5 grams. If you have no scale have a look at this page to find out if it is copper or not. http://lincolncentresource.com/smal...es/1982.html Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/13/2021 1:07 pm Well looking at the Upper left area on the obverse, that is called Ridge Ring. It is a form of Die Deterioration that forms on the single squeeze dies as they age. Report this Post to the Staff
