Sbglobal Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 12/14/2021 3:53 pm Good afternoon coin community. I was given a bag of change by an elder Brethren who's no longer with us. I have what seems like a nice collection. Any input is very much appreciated. These 1st 4 are 1982 large date all 3.11 grams. Can't tell if I'm looking at copper or zinc?

Second, any '82 cents that weigh 3.1 g are copper only while ones that weigh 2.5 g are copper-plated zinc.
