Dearborn Moderator United States 97062 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 7:52 pm Silvio, that looks raised to me, not incuse. I think we need to ask the OP on that question. @Izzylizzy: is that thing you are pointing out raised or incuse? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

If none of the others have a mint mark and they have the same date then they are just Philly copper large date vs this one which is Philly zinc large date. If the date is different they are Philly copper small date. Both are common. Report this Post to the Staff

Izzylizzy Valued Member United States 155 Posts	Posted 03/22/2023 08:05 am Bugil... Really...? How about the fg is it like sitting on the memorialor is there a space between them? Cointree so I also have 1 '82 no mint that weighs 2.49 then 7 '82 no mint around 3.11 and 1 1982 D 3.11 ...? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/22/2023 08:33 am First off it is a large date. Copper should weigh 3.1 grams and copper plated zinc 2.5 grams +/- .12 grams mint tolerance. I see pits on the reverse of your coin, so I am inclined to say it is a copper plated zinc core cent. The die crack on the reverse lower right steps is kinda common and have seen and spent many.
