<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alex G, post: 8265096, member: 93681&quot;]Thank you so very much for your reply to my question.&nbsp; Yes, I have the Red book, and I&#039;m aware of the stats you speak of.&nbsp; This coin evidently, was struck in such a way that it&#039;s core is exposed, as well as the edge&#039;s of the coin being worn down, I&#039;m certain this cent is either copper, brass or some such combination of the two, yet containing no appreciative significant amounts of zinc to warrant its core being Zinc; especially when I can see the coins inner parts where it was hit; of this I&#039;m certain.&nbsp; It&#039;s why I&#039;m here searching. Which caused me to speculate within the limited scope of my own experience and knowledge, that the coin in question very well may be a transitional coin.&nbsp; Through all my research, however, I have yet to come across information concerning a memorial cent, being void of Zinc, weighing 2.5 grams, outside of the Zinc/Shied cents of 1982.&nbsp; All the information I can gather will aide me in coming to some comprehensive decision concerning its authenticity.&nbsp; Though I imagine that in the finally analysis the only judgement that&#039;ll make a difference, is that of the experts that work within the industry&#039;s that grade these things; such as PCSG, ANAC, Etc..&nbsp; Again, thank you for the time and effort you&#039;ve attributed to my endeavor, I couldn&#039;t be more appreciative.&nbsp; Happy hunting to you and good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
