<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 373243, member: 4552&quot;]Don&#039;t try the acid method. It is to dangerous. The easiest method and the safest is a torch. Arc welders are the best. When the coin melts if all the same color it is the Copper one. If you see greys and yellows, it was the Copper plated ones. </p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>To add to this already explaine best and cheapest method. Try to use a standard six sided pencil. It wil stay steady while you glue the Popsicle or Ice Creame stick to it. Balance the stick on the pencil, glue in place, wait for it to dry of course. Sticks work best if all popsicles and/or Ice Creame is eaten first. Note you now have a balance beam scale and as noted free. You can test two ways. If you place a pre 82 cent on one side, any lighter 82 plated cent will not make the stick move. If you place a post 82 cent on one end, any Copper 82 cent will make the stick drop on the end it is placed. Note that if you glue a post 82 cent to one end, the glue itself will add weight to that end unless you use a very small amount of glue. </p><p>And remember, when finished you can still use your scale to weigh other things or just throw in the garbage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
