new england collector Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 1:06 pm Hi! I have an 82 penny with no mint mark and it appears zinc is showing through. Wondering if it's a keeper or not. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 3:27 pm quite common . In 82 the mint was in the transition of producing some with zinc and just a copper coating, and some of them was the original 95% copper. the zinc showing through is just the copper coating wearing off.
