Jonbdoe New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 09/06/2021 7:31 pm Hi! I found this 1982 D small date penny In a sock drawer. My question is if it has to be weighed or is the correct font type enough? I will get a scale if need be. Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1489 Posts	Posted 09/06/2021 8:09 pm Should weigh 2.5 grams, minus a bit for loss of zinc. The elusive copper coin would weigh 3.1 g. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95806 Posts	Posted 09/07/2021 4:36 pm Correct as always are the opinions stated above. A rotting zinc small date Denver minted Lincoln Cent. I will weight in at about 2.5g Ans as the OP (original Poster) stated as well, you should get a scale anyway. one that will read out to 2 decimal points accuracy Collecting since 1972.
