quartercollector Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I have been working on my Lincoln Album and the 1982 cent seams to have trown me for a loop, Some of the Zinc Cents are really easy to tell apart but when it comes to copper I was not able to see the difference on most of them.

quartercollector Posted November 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Large and small dates I can tell fairly easy the but since there is Zinc, lg and sm date as well as Copper lg and sm date, that is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Just use a popsicle stick/tongue depressor to make a balance. Make sure that it's level with two know cents -- something like two 2002 cents. When it's balanced., remove one of the know cents. When you put your 82 cent on if it's heavier it's copper. Same it's zinc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
