This coin has that high pitched ring and I even compared it to a copper penny and zinc penny and it sounds exactly like the copper one. But I'm not for sure if it's small date or not. Here's the photo: I couldn't get it to stay rotated so sorry that the pupto is sideways. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/13/2018 12:27 pm use a popsickle stick teeter totter to determine weight. I took one, glued a know copper cent on one end, then used a cut piece of plastic straw to find the center balance point with a loose copper at the other end. (glue straw at that point.) Set the balance point with coppers, therefore the stinkin zinkins won't tip the scale... Edited by Crazyb0 08/13/2018 12:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
