But I came across one that weighs 3.1 it's the only one I've found to weigh this. So it's copper in assuming instead on zinc. Anyone know anything more about this topic?

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/20/2018 2:47 pm No. Both Philadelphia and Denver made zinc and copper. There are 7 in the 'set'. Both large date and small date as well. The reason there aren't 8 is because they never made 1982-D small date copper. (Someone correct me if I'm saying the wrong one.)
