Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 10/17/2013 10:36 am Looks like the start of the dreaded Zinc Rot. It will continue to rot away until it is dust. Quick Spend it! Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 10/17/2013 10:41 am Thanks That was my first guess but I also thought it was copper so I figured I better post it here to see. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/17/2013 10:55 am Looks like a poor rinse Zincoln. Do a drop test with a 1981 and a known zinc. You will heat the thud associated with the zinc cents and not the ring of the copper cents. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 10/17/2013 11:17 am It sounds like a zincoln. Someone told me 82 was the last year for copper thats why it struck me as odd. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
