Dearborn Moderator United States 96209 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 3:15 pm This is MD ( Machine Doubling) it adds no value as for the weight: 1982 and newer Zinc cents will weigh 2.5 grams 1909 to 1982 Will weigh 3.11 grams In 1982 the mint transitioned from copper coins to zinc coins, so in this year you can find both weights.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 5:05 pm An easy way to get immediate answers as to whether you have a doubled die, RPM, or OMM. Find them all listed here: www.varietyvista.com Scroll down, find the e-book for the coin you are looking for and take the links. If yours is not listed then you probably have non-collectable doubling such as Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling (search these topics on this forum and at error-ref.com). This will enable you to save time when wondering in the future. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 6:08 pm Are those two potential die cracks top left and right of the Memorial? Also for future reference, several 1983 (unicorns) transitional errors have been found struck on copper/bronze planchets. If you can't tell the difference, then weight can help confirm or rule it out. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
