<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EvilKidsMeal, post: 1127760, member: 28937&quot;]And I&#039;ll add the 7 different 1982&#039;s if you like the random variety coins.&nbsp; These are: 1982 large date, 1982 small date, and 1982-D (large date); all in 95% copper. Then there&#039;s the 1982 large date, 1982 small date, 1982-D large date, 1982-D small date; all in copper plated zinc. All seven are very easily found, even in circulation, which is nice because you can have a small completed set. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In case you were wondering 1982 was the year they switched from 95% copper cents to the Copper-zinc plated variety that all current cents are. (The percentage is 99.2% zinc.) </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you have any &#039;82&#039;s laying around an easy way to tell between copper and zinc is to balance the cent on a finger tip and LIGHTLY tap it on the edge with another coin. (Lightly so you don&#039;t ding up the cent) The copper ones will ring for a good second or so. It&#039;s a very bright ring that is tough to miss. The zinc ones sort of just &#039;tap&#039;. As far as the large vs. small date varietys you will have to do some research in order to get a proper understanding.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
