    wondering what the value of these would be in a general sense for these cents.

    also when buying old cents by weight (no wheats, all newer but no Zincolns), what is the going rate ?

    Here's a blank panchet with what looks like scotch tape on the back (yes, really). looks like some stampings, or scratches, or nothing on the one tape side.

    I have 3x more of the 1940s, then about the same in 1950s, then a boatload non-wheat 1960-80s

    If the planchet weighs 3.1g, $3 without the Scotch tape, 2.5g zinc, $2 without the Scotch tape. Your own personal results may vary. Kids, don't try this at home. (That's with a rim, which I think yours does. More $ without a rim.)

    it has a really thin rim. Guess I need to weight it although the scotch tape will make it heavier.

    anything visual to identify a zincoln vs copper?
    either way, not going to pay for anyone's retirement.

    thanks, I'll compare it to a zincoln and copper lincoln when I get a chance. like an inch or so at first - when I can hear a diff between the 2 regulars.

    a copper should be more of a Thud

    The weight won't be that much more with the Scotch tape.
    The weight will tell you if it is copper or zinc.
    Acetone should remove that tape. Even though it won't dissolve,
    I think it would separate from the coin, once the glue has dissolved.

    Nonwheat coins sold by weight? Just buy boxes at the bank and sort them. One cent each.

    I have no fervor for buying rolls from the bank. I'm not a CRH person.
    Just buying an old collection from a co-worker, which contains pennies and a few other higher valued things. This is just the cents.

    I found my old coin machine so I'm all set in counting. I forgot that I had it .. from the 1970s or 80s.
