[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2365531, member: 27832"]With regard to 1982 mintages, I just went through a roll or two of 1982 cents (mostly P, a few D) that I'd set aside over a year or two. (Like many people, I set aside copper; it'll never repay me enough to be worth my time, but it placates the OCD.) I didn't keep an exact count (OCD isn't [I]always[/I] the boss), but I think only 20% or so of the coins I checked were zinc. I reached the point where I'd put the coins on the scale three at a time, because usually all three would be copper. It seems I've read elsewhere that there were more copper than zinc coins minted in 1982. For those of you who have checked a lot of coins, what proportions have [I]you[/I] found?[/QUOTE]
