Hello. I have a silver looking 1992 d Lincoln Cent that does not stick to a magnet and weighs 2.7 grams. Its texture is not smooth, slick or sticky. It is driving me crazy!! If aluminum it would weigh less at 2.5 and if copper more @ 3.1 right? So what am I looking at?
Remember most 1982 and all above would be copper plated zinc (2.5 gs)...so IMO your cent was plated, maybe as a school science project ( many are easy to do and can be seen on uTube)
