coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/05/2009 6:08 pm Some of the rinsing technique was not real good for the early Zincolns. It just depends on the planchets rinse and plating. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19961 Posts	Posted 01/10/2009 2:26 pm They seem to have made far less zinc 82's than copper. I find more coppers by a large margin, probably 90% copper. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
