Ok.. When do you plan to purchase a gram scale? The suspense will kill me

Or.. Take a popsicle stick. Make a see saw device. Put any Cent that is pre 1982 on one side and all your 1983's on the other. (One at a time of course)
If the pre 1982 is heavier.. then your 1983's are 2.5 gram copper plated zinc.

 

Ill try that.

 

Here is an example of what to do

Will you hold my hand too

 

No.. I only hold my wife's hand.. But one day you might find somebody who will hold yours.

Just trying to guide you buddy..

 

I can tell simply by the look of it. It is copper-plated zinc.

 

I myself sometimes put aside 1983 Cents that look like copper.. Weigh all of them!
I know the difference also but hey.. You never know

 

I hear ya. But seeing that there are more known 1943 copper cents than 1983 ones, I never get my hopes up.

 

Copper cents will usually look like copper. This does not.
My digital gram scale was less than $10 on Amazon, and I have been using it for years, thousands of times.

 

. Your cent is zinc.

Three decimal precision for $17, can't beat that.
