[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 4167770, member: 77814"]1982 was the transition year to a new composition for the US Cent. Thus in 1982 you will get two different types of cents. 1952 – 1982 is 95% Copper and 5% Tin & Zinc; 3.11 grams 1982 – Current is 97.5% Zinc and 2.5% Copper; 2.5 grams if you buy a "[B][U]jewelers[/U][/B]" scale make sure it goes to 2 digits. Such as 3.11. Getting a scale that only goes 1 digit that means it will round the number and you may get 3.0, or 3.1 instead of 3.11. And a [B]food [/B]scale is totally different and should not be used.[/QUOTE]
