Hi I was just checking the weight on my pennies the old fashioned way. Are all the 1982 d pennies mostly copper?
no, The 7 Business Strike Varieties: 1982 Large Date Copper 1982 Large Date Copper plated Zinc 1982 Small Date Copper 1982 Small Date Copper plated Zinc 1982 D Large Date Copper 1982 D Large Date Copper plated Zinc 1982 D Small Date Copper plated Zinc
Hopefully,get a new scale soon. Thought I’d try it out see if it works with a couple skewers Didn’t have a popsicle stick.
Best way is by looking at the numeral 2.. There is a difference. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1982.html When you get a cheap gram scale you will be looking for 3.11 grams for copper and 2.5 grams for copper plated zinc cents. Very easy.
