chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 10/26/2009 6:59 pm Just wondering if there is any truth to 1983 LMC's being all copper weighing 3.10 grams or am I wasting my time weighing every 1983 LMC that I find? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/27/2009 09:44 am I have seen reports of a couple of pieces and I do believe they exist but they will not be common, about like 1943 copper cents and how many of them are around? Then when you consider that the 43 coppers would look a lot different and be easier to notice compared to the 43 steel than an 83 copper would be toward and 83 copper plated zinc it would seem to me the 83 copper would be a lot more easier lost.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/27/2009 11:17 am I have heard from an unreliable source that there is one 1983 brass cent (the composition is actually called brass - not copper). I believe I might have seen one in a PCGS slab, but am unsure. The possibility is definitely there. The possibility also exists for the one 'unminted' version of the 1982 cent...a Denver mint small date brass cent. Of course I have never heard of one found, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there. Report this Post to the Staff
