<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swagge1, post: 776091, member: 22402&quot;]Joe I have a question for you. It is my understanding that the 2009 pennies went back to the old composition which was some sort of copper and tin alloy, NOT what we&#039;ve had since 1982... the copper plated zinc. I got a few rolls of 2009 pennies from an ebay auction and it looks like a few of the coins on the end of the roll were scratched pretty bad in a circular pattern. I&#039;m assuming the seller&#039;s method of rolling the pennies is what scratcehd some of them. He agreed to replaced the scratched coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My observation is that the 2009 pennies that were scratched severely appear to haze been scratched down to a zinc-like looking layer. Is this just an illusion or were only certain 2009 pennies struck in the 1909 composition? I&#039;ll try to find the pics, but it deffinitley looks like copper clad zinc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
