<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 462840, member: 5233"]Even holding each coin you can tell a difference if you concentrate on it. Pick up a brand new cent...and then pick up a cent from before 1982. The new cent will feel slightly lighter...it almost has a "tin-y" feel if you ask me while the older cent doesn't. A scale is obviously the best way to do it...but if you don't have one the other methods suggested work just fine. Once you play with enough cents...you'll get to the point where you can tell by just picking them up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
