<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 24586001, member: 92655&quot;]I&#039;ll tell you this Miss Mary..... Since 1982 the US mint has produced zinc cents with a minute layer of copper coating. That copper/zinc combination can act like a sacrificial anode if that copper layer gates scratched leading to all manner of odd anomalies. Myself, I have come to be suspect of any oddity on a cent minted after 1982..... Anyway, that wasn&#039;t meant to be judgmental of your cent. Just helping your coin collecting Jeopardy knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
