@Hello that would be very much appreciated.
I have a 1974-S but I don't have one that's a zinc circulated proof.
Do you have one?

If I recall correctly, all proof cents (including 1982-present) have been struck on copper planchets. Can someone confirm this?

No the 1982 is copper but the 83 to 2008 and 2010 to date proof cents are copper plated zinc. The 2009's are copper.

OK, I must have heard something about the 2009 proofs.

Sorry, I checked and all I have are a 1980-S and a 1982-S. Wish I could be of help. Good luck!

After a bit of scavenging on the internet, this is what I got. I doubt it's what you're looking for, though.  |

I think he's looking for an Impaired Proof Zincoln. You'd think they would be covered with Split Plating.

That is an impaired proof Zincoln. About the plating, I don't think it would split any more than a normal Zincoln.

Nice! I think LincolnCentMeHere wanted a zinc proof, though.

If you still want a pic of a zinc one, I just found this coin, which was part of the prize from T-BOP's contest a few months ago.  |

I didn't really think about the double strike.

Actually I just found out they were having the split plating issues with the early zincolns proofs. That's why they went with the doubled copper.
