<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny54321, post: 438531, member: 13342&quot;]In 1982 they made both copper and zinc cents, so about half are copper and half aren&#039;t. The only real way to tell the difference is to weigh them(the copper ones are heavier). Its not worth it to me when I separate out a massive stash, so I just go with everything 1981 and older in my copper pile just to make sure they are all copper. If you roll up the coppers into rolls, you can get nearly double face value for them on ebay if you wanted to.....:mouth:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Of course you have to ask yourself if the minimal gain is worth your time. This, again, only depends on how bored you are...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Personally, I very rarely come across silver in circulation; where as copper is still quite prominent(though this may change someday). I&#039;ve been going through about $50.00 worth of penny rolls that I bought off of my dad; and probably 30% or so of the cents are copper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
