<p>[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 3008352, member: 57463"]Until 1962 cents were 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. From 1962-1982, they were 95% copper and 5% zinc. 1982 was the year in which the alloy changed to a zinc core with a copper cover, with a net weight of 2.5 grams. Cents from before 1981 are 10 to the troy ounce, 3.11 grams each.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
