<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coppertop, post: 13449771, member: 138647&quot;]I didn&#039;t understand the &quot;penny drop&quot; before. I was dropping it on the rim to try and get that &quot;ring&quot; like a bell. Well, at least it hasn&#039;t been a whole year yet to find out the right way, LOL! I was weighing a box of pennies and I always set aside unusual ones. So, I had a 1951-D penny that weighed 2.78g. Then, I came across a 1983-D penny that weighed 2.72g. I was like, how could their weight be so similar, one being copper and the other.......... oh my, could I have found one, a copper one! Then, I remembered the &quot;drop test&quot;. Couldn&#039;t tell the difference. Then, I had the idea of dropping it flat on my real wood table. The 1951-D rang like a bell! The 1983-D, nothing. Well, at least now I know how to do it right. Goodnight.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1529908[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1529909[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1529910[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1529911[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
