chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 712 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 9:36 pm Just checking if there is any thing with this 2.73 g coin. Should be 2.5g and the jack pot is 3.1g. Checked all my 1983s with the scale and this coin is in the middle. Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 868 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 9:58 pm Looks zinc. Probably beat up enough it wouldn't hurt it to do a quick drop or ping test alongside a known copper and zinc. Report this Post to the Staff
chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 712 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 10:31 pm Compared it to the 1982s and it matches the 2.5g zinc. You can here it loud and clear. The copper has a different sound. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 18342 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 10:39 pm I'll go with a rolled thick planchet. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 868 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 06:31 am A little outside the tolerance for zinc but the drop/ping test doesn't lie. I'm with @Dearborn: rolled a little thick. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2369 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 4:51 pm Either rolled-thick zinc cent stock or an abnormally thick layer of copper plating. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 12004 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 4:55 pm Rolled thick--works for donuts too. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 5093 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 5:41 pm Sometimes the Zinc alloy has Lead and this will cause be heavier. Not necessary thick planchet (which it is not out of the context). Make a Rim dimension if you have a micro-meter. NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT. FIRST THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL. THEN, THEY WILL BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE. Report this Post to the Staff
