<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Duane Charter, post: 2605322, member: 78140&quot;]Our story begins in 1982, when the alloy of the cents was changed from 95% copper to approximately 95% zinc. All cents minted subsequently to the change contained approximately 95% zinc. However, since 1982 was a transitional year, the possibility existed that some leftover copper planchets could have been used inadvertently to strike 1983 coins. Apparently some 1983 pennies are being found that were made from copper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
