I'll get a pic of my counter stamp tomorrow. It's some kinda guy, maybe a bad JFK, facing Lincoln.

I've read this article by Ken Potter and found it very interesting & useful: http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis...&rid=2197220Especially this section: "The cents struck from 1963 through about mid 1982 are of a solid brass composition made up of 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc. They weigh 3.11 grams. The cents struck from about mid 1982 to date are struck on planchets made up of a solid zinc core (with a trace of copper) that are barrel plated with pure copper and weigh 2.5 grams." ALL LINCOLN ROLL HUNTER should keep their eyes open & their weighting scale beside them when searching..... May be someone from CCF can one day, with a struck of luck, find one of this 1983 copper cent. |

Tonight I found my first 1918s  . So now I have 40 holes left in my first Whitman folder. It gets very hard to find a hole filler. HH  |

SilentAsian4Hire,
I saw that article and grabbed my scale... the scale that I purchased after I read "Strike it Rich with Pocket Change." They are definitely out there - maybe one of my 1000+ I've been setting aside weighs 3.11 grams.
