<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 785266, member: 4552&quot;]Basically true about them not holding up well. Of course you must realize it has now been over 25 years of them bouncing around and you really don&#039;t see many coins lately that age in change. Just to many hoarders and melters out there.&nbsp; None are really difficult to find at a coin show. Many dealers hoarded them by the roll and are now selling MS grades for a rediculous price. As to how to tell the difference, this one has been posted many times. </p><p>You just take a popsicle or icr bar stick, balance it on a pencil, place a post 82 coin at one end, any 82 at the other end. If it balances, both are Zinc. If the last one placed goes down, it is Copper. It&#039;s easier to balance the stick if the pencil is a six sided one that will stand still for a second. A drop of glue will also help hold the stick to the pencil for those attempts to weigh the coins. </p><p>Always remember to eat the stuff of the stick first. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Again, that&#039;s called humor you know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
