Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 06:25 am We need to see a full image of both sides of the coin so we can see if it has any zinc characteristics. Also, check your scale. Make sure it's not out of adjustment. It is the small date. It has a Denver mint mark (if it's real.) The only thing we can't verify from an image is the metal, but a copper planchet should weigh 3.11 grams. Everything sounds correct to be the rare coin! Interesting!

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8736 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 08:34 am It would be very cool if you have the small date copper 1982 D but odds are not in your favor. If you have no way to calibrate your scale, use a cent you know is copper (81 or older) and one you know is a copper plated zinc (83 and newer), see what your scale reads for each. From the small example we have to work with though, it looks like a copper plated zinc cent, there are areas that would appear to have plating issues. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 07/10/2023 08:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
