Okay, I understand. Is weighing the coin the only way to tell if the coin is plated?
Wait a minute. The chart you showed says that the 1982D is copper plated zinc. The only pure copper cents are not 1982D coins. So which is it?...
Okay, I have looked at the link @Oldhoopster gave, and it seems the main characteristic of the small and large date versions is the shape of the 2...
No, I guess not. It actually belongs to another collector. I forgot where the image came from.
Hey, that kinda looks like the coin you gave me many moons ago!

Ummm, Congress includes both the House and Senate.
But of course my estate wouldn't even go through probate because I have a will, right? So whatever I have when I pass goes to my heirs. Like my...
I doubt that my estate will even come near $3M, even with the coins. And I doubt, given the condition of the coins that any of them are rare. I...
But what if you have coins you didn't pay for? And I'm not talking about stolen coins, just inherited ones that also were not bought or stolen.
