lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1658 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 04:46 am Weigh it before worrying about what to do with it. I agree that it looks like a copper coated zinc. Report this Post to the Staff
hlw1976 Valued Member United States 422 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 06:07 am Yes I would definitely weigh it only for the share fact that if they tell you that you probably need to do you probably need to do it. If not for them I would have made a mistake after mistake after mistake. I do think it looks zinc I've looked at plenty of 82's. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 11:29 am Weight will be 2.5 grams. The copper one is 3.11 grams. Not a copper planchet. How can we tell? Note the plating over the zinc dust on the obverse. That is the clue from the images. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 1:38 pm I agree with coop about the zinc dust that can be seen on the reverse above the Memorial. Copper plated zinc cent. Report this Post to the Staff
