Hey everyone,

Working on filling my 1975 and up Lincoln Cent book and came across some 1982 dates. I want to make sure I got both a small and large date. Thank you in advanced.

You can use a pop-sicle stick and a pen to judge between copper and zinc pennies. I do it all the time and it works great. search the forum for how-to!

At one time I built a balance with Lego.

That has been explained many times here. Basically you are making a balance beam thing. You simply place a flat stick on a pencil so it balances. Using a pencil with those sort of flat sides makes it easier. Once you have made a balance beam thing, you place a previous to 82 cent on one side, it is Copper, and a 82 Cent on the other side of the stick. If it balances, the 82 is Copper. If not, the 82 cent is the Zinc stuff.
Or you can start with a later than 82 cent on one side and then any you put on the other side either is heavier, it is the Copper one, or is the same and balances.

I don't see 1982 D much. And I make sure to weight them if I see one.
