<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Spark1951, post: 8125120, member: 90692&quot;][USER=120831]@justyn p[/USER] …I apologize if I seemed a bit harsh, but imagine my dismay when I, and other forum members, see repetitive posts of corroded, damaged zincolns by members who in the past have exhibited an understanding of them that precludes posts of them.&nbsp; I simply didn’t expect to see a question arise about this corroded, badly designed and hopeless slug.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There <i><b>exists for the moment </b></i> untold billions of these artifacts.&nbsp; All of those still in circulation are in the process of disintegrating.&nbsp; Only those that are conserved have a ice cubes’ chance in Hades of surviving, and will be very scarce in the future.&nbsp; Please don’t misconstrue my meaning.&nbsp; Preserved Zincolns currently have a modicum of numismatic interest and many dates will attain collectability later on….much later on.&nbsp; But the vast majority of all of those minted will evaporate with time, <b>if they haven’t already done so. </b> The proof of this last statement rests in one recent observation:&nbsp; How many 1982 zinc pennies are you finding in circulation that have <u>no</u> corrosion on them?&nbsp; Here in the States that percentage comes close to <b>zero.&nbsp; </b>Globally, this percentage could actually <b>be</b> zero, for all intents and purposes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
