lvtwentytwo Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 07/09/2025 10:52 pm Well, I think I found my answer. It weights 2.5g, so it's a small date zinc penny. Nothing special. Report this Post to the Staff

J-Tal Valued Member United States 115 Posts	Posted 07/10/2025 12:11 am No you do not roll this coin you save it. This is an example of a large date that you need as a reference. Your statement that it is 2.5 grams therefore it is a small date is nonsensical. This is a large date and they come in both 2.5 gram and 3.1 gram versions. Now you need to find any small date as a reference. Don't be a treasure hunter who never bothers to learn what a large date looks like because they are hunting for the big money Report this Post to the Staff
