<p>[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 500381, member: 11521"]A cheap way is to make your own balance. You can use a popsicle stick or something similar and a pencil for a fulcrum. Place the center of the popsicle stick over the pencil and place a pre-1982 Cent on one end of the stick and the 1982 Cent on the other end of the stick (exactly the same distance from the center of the stick). If the stick balances on the pencil the 1982 Cent weighs the same as the pre-1982 Cent and therefore is bronze. If the pre-1982 Cent tips the end of the stick down the 1982 Cent weighs less and is therefore zinc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
