<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lincoln Cents, post: 1366209, member: 31939&quot;]As I said earlier, you can see woodgrain on <i>some</i> copper cents and bubble plating on<i> some</i> zinc ones, but otherwise, it is difficult. The strikes on zinc cents are slightly different. I recommend that you make a &quot;teeter toter&quot; scale with a popsicle stick, a straw, and a zinc cent. You tape the straw to the center of the popsicle stick and a zinc cent to one side. When you put the copper cent on one side, it should fall on that side. If you put a zinc cent on the other side of the scale, it should even out or not do anything. Once you separate the zinc ones from the copper ones, look at the differences between them to start being able to tell without a scale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
