errorfinder Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 03/26/2010 9:07 pm I'm sure that others have noticed this too,but i'll add that the '82 zincs and those up to date are thinner ever so slightly ,ie. a stack of copper cents will be higher/taller than a equally numbered stack of zincs.i discovered this after using an funnel type (incremented for 50 cent counts )coin counting plastic tube for I was using re:rolling the height varied enough to be a cent off ..my 'fix' was to adhere a cent to the bottom of the tube an add custom markers tob the side of it one for all coppers one for those funny/thin zinc thingees..

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/29/2010 6:40 pm Most people try to judge "Thickness" by looking at the edge, but differences in striking pressure results in greatly varying filling of the rims and a large variation in the apparent "thickness". As a rule the weaker th strike the "thinner" the coin even though they are all struck from the same weight and thickness blank. Report this Post to the Staff
