There is only 2 things you will ever know.. If it is all Copper with the weight of 3.11 grams then it was made before mid 1982 If it is a Copper Plated Zinc Blank with the weight of 2.5 grams then it is from mid 1982 until now And since you posted on the What's it worth forum.. $2.00 through $4.00 depending on the condition and rarity.
