[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 2751915, member: 78298"]Zinc cents weigh 2.5 grams. Copper cents weigh 3.1 grams. 1982 was a transitional year with some cents in copper and some in zinc. In 1983 all are supposed to be zinc, but some very valuable 1983 on copper (bronze planchets) have been discovered. Not including that super rarity, the best 1982 is the small date zinc. The small date has a very detailed "2" and the large date has a very sloppy looking 2. The large has a better strike on LIBERTY while the small has a weak strike on LIBERTY.
