Environmental damage, should be a zlincon - weigh it, 2.5g expected

 

Oh that does look like a zinc coin

 

The assumption would have to be zinc unless you weigh it and find it is not.

 

@abelincoln64
Do you have a Gram Scale?
It would help you a lot in determining what post 1982 Cents are.. 2.5 grams is Copper Plated Zinc

There are 2 or 3 all copper post 1982 Cents that have been found. Called Transitional Errors. They are extremely rare to find. I'm not saying that there are not any more out there but a scale would help you so you don't need to keep creating these threads.

Peace

 

I ordered a gram scale, I was just using a kitchen digital scale but that wasn't working out to good for me
