It seems to be priced relatively reasonably compared to known sales of 1983 Philadelphia copper cents. I don't understand what the hubbub is about here myself. I can't afford it, but it doesn't seem to be outlandishly priced.

The reverse is a little bit ugly, so you might want to wait for the other one to hit the market?

 

I agree it’s over priced!! But someone who has the cash will buy it!!!

 

That's gonna get reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal old fast. Just drop them on a plate and see if they ding or thud.

 

buy the scales.

 

Yeah, I will. How sensitive should they be? Don't scales vary?

 

Hahahaha Hahahaha. I'm deaf in one ear so I probably couldn't tell! Ha!

 

During this Covid-19 thing I've got nothing else to do! Ha! That's why I started going through all my coins. I have a ton of them! Haha!

 

I have one of these and it works fine (Amazon)

 

Thank you. I'll look for one like that.

 

YES! You definitely need a Gram Scale. They are very easy to use. Do you live in a city? Go to any smoke shop and they sell Gram Scales. Some are $10.00

Copper Cents weigh 3.11 Grams
Copper plated Zinc Cents weigh 2.5 Grams

That's what you need to know

 

You can also make a quick go/no go scale like CamaroDMD details in this thread: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-guide-to-1982-lincoln-cent-identification.55647/

 

Thank you. I do have one nearby. That would be quicker that getting one online. Thanks for the suggestion!
