[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 267302, member: 4703"]Didn't we just have this same question in another thread? A pencil balance remains the easiest and quickest way to sort them. Put a regular six-sided pencil crosswise on another one, and put a cent on each end. Use a post-'82 zinc cent on one end. If the questioned one is heavier, it is copper. I can test a roll of cents this way in just about a minute. Using my .01g scale it takes almost twice as long.[/QUOTE]
