Papadoc75 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 08/17/2019 7:57 pm Small date for sure but appears to be a copper. Weigh it on a scale or use the popsicle stick method and compare it to a regular zinc cent. If you aren't familiar, just make a seesaw style scale from crossing a popsicle stick over a round pencil. Make sure it is even then balance one coin on each side. Copper will always be heavier than the zinc. Report this Post to the Staff

Noam613 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/18/2019 6:24 pm Hey guys! Quick tip I picked up. If you flip the coin and you hear ringing then it's copper, if not it's zinc. Have a nice day! Report this Post to the Staff
