<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 390389, member: 8797&quot;]Hi all. How do you tell if a Lincoln cent is brass? Weight does not seem to be an issue as my digital scale shows no difference between those with that pale yellow hue and those that look normal. I see in Numismatic News one could buy them, but I enjoy the hunt and could use a few tips if anyone knows. Also while I was looking at Fred Weinberg&#039;s error coin site I see that there are cents that look normal but were slabbed and graded as being made from a planchet intended for a Cuban coin... Is weight the only way to tell or am I missing something? I&#039;ve found many pre-1982 Lincoln cents underweight, some by .1 grams, some only weighing 1.5 grams. Well, that&#039;s my question for the day I guess. Thanks for the help!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; -Andy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
