Does this mean it's copper-plated zinc? Sorry, just want to make sure it doesn't mess up my copper penny count
If its 2.5g as you stated then yes its a copper-plated zinc cent blank its on. All cents after 1983 would weight that amount, while 1981 and earlier are copper weighing 3.11g. 1982 had both. So its not copper like the pre 82s. The mint did not issue regular 10 count mint sets, 5 for each mint branch for the years 1982 and 1983, but did sell Souvenir Mint Sets (5 coin one branch) at each branch mint, Philadelphia and Denver. However the token is different:
