It's not in great condition, but if you want to have it graded go right ahead. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 11/03/2019 07:53 am half the coins minted in 82 were copper 3.1 grams and the other half were copper plated zinc 2.5 grams so there is nothing really special about it. having it graded would be a waste of money IMHO Report this Post to the Staff

1stlady19 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 11/04/2019 11:47 am Hi! I think they are in bad shape so might not be worth much. On the left are the pennies that weigh 2.5 & right weigh 3.5. I feel like I'm addicted or something... every time I see loose change, I find myself inspecting them! Thanks for all your help & feedback! Report this Post to the Staff
