Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10598 Posts	Posted 09/26/2024 4:44 pm Looks shiny and plated instead of the dull zinc color when it's missing the copper plating. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10598 Posts	Posted 09/26/2024 4:47 pm Quote: seems to weigh less than normal So how exactly did you weigh it? 1983 is a copper plated zinc cent and should weigh 2.5 grams. I see you have a copper cent next to it. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/26/2024 5:52 pm Guessing this is just plated. Report this Post to the Staff
