<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 48591, member: 1674&quot;]yes, there is another way.&nbsp; (only for circulated coins, though)&nbsp; Get a pre-1982 cent and a post-1982 cent to compare with and then drop them onto a hard surface from about 1/4 meter and listen to the way the coins &quot;ring&quot; when they strike the surface.&nbsp; If the coin &quot;rings&quot; then it is MK 201 (and should sound the same as your pre-1982 comparison coin), but if it has a dull &quot;clink&quot; sound (and matches the sound of your post-1982 comparison coin) then it is KM 201a.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, 1982 US cents were issued with both the large and small date varieties, as well as in 2 different metal compositions and the pictured coin is the large date variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
