<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 298276, member: 112"]Based on the pics I think you have the real deal there - an '82 cent with no copper. If it had been dipped in acid to remove the copper cladding, the zinc underneath would be much, much rougher over the entire surface sice zinc is so volatile. But yet there are many patches and areas that are completely smooth.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would get the coin accurately weighed and that should confirm it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
