<p>[QUOTE="tsk, post: 146231, member: 5858"]Actually, it's not that bad. I use a popsicle stick. I put on a pre 82 penny on one side (you can tape it on if you like), and then position the stick over something and find a spot where a copper penny will tip it and a zinc penny will not. Then just mark it and you can fairly quickly go through a bunch of pennies. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, you're right that it's easier to go get a scale. But if I want to find out now what I have and not wait a day or two till I can get to a scale, it does the trick fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
