first is a zincoln .. you can tell from the corrosion.

of the set of 3, top 2 are large date
other may be small date.

 

Have you weighed it ?

 

using a jewelers scale that goes 2 or 3 decimals,
and not a food scales that rounds to the nearest whole gram.

 

I voted "?" because that is what I think of this thread.

 

It's probably zinc because of what clawcoins said.
Copper doesn't bleed through those white zinc corrosion patches.
You can see where the plating is on and off.
Weight should be 2.5 grams.
It's 3 billion-1 against being copper. But you never know.
Yes in the bottom photo the top 2 are large dates the bottom is a small date.

 

Both weigh 3.0

 

can you show the make and model of the scale.
I know it states capacity 750g x 0.1g
but I'm curious.

because it could round the information but have an accuracy of 0.1g
Thus 2.9 to 3.1g is 3.0.

plus those look large date anyways ...

 

Looks like the one line up with bottom numbers. I kind of new at this.

 

That is a Copper plated zinc cent.

 

I know the bottom one was zinc, just used it for comparison.

 

The Cent in question is also Copper plated zinc.

 

The coins you show on your scale pics are the two dirty ones in the second pic.. In fact I think you're attempting a slight of hand
illusion. You have introduced four different coins into the scenario IMHO.

 

looks like a light food scale - used a lot in tobacco products apparently.

i'm curious if you get a decimal place on various items that you can weigh.

you might want to get a jewelers scale that can go 2 or 3 decimal places.
such as this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071GYVQF...uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

 

I just wanted to know for sure if they might be sm date.

 

Thank you all, I'll check elsewhere

 

Check what elsewhere? You have a 1982 D small date Copper plated zinc cent. If "elsewhere" tells you different then come back and prove it.

 

he's not getting the answer that he wants .. a copper 1982 D cent.
Normally driven by false YouTube videos; investigating for facts does not matter.

 

The coin you showed on the scale is a large date.
Both small dates I saw were clearly copperplated zinc.
