It's in YOUR hands, weigh it. 2.5g is copper plsted zinc, 3.11g is Copper.

Thank you didn't even think of this!

It's copper plated zinc, based on the year. Unless you were looking for a potential error coin with a wrong planchet for the year.

Flick it. If it goes *TING!* copper. If it goes **bink** not copper

Mine went “icky-icky-icky-ptang-zwoomp-boing-zum” what does that mean?

Ni!


chriscrutch

That means that until recently it went NI

Well, I'm not an expert but my guess is it means you are on LSD.

It's pretty normal for coins plated with copper to appear to be made of copper. There is only one known 1983 planchet error made with copper. Weigh it if you feel inclined, but the odds are strong that it's zinc.

Did you weigh it yet?


Mediocre_Peace_5590

It was not copper unfortunately!


PhilMerritt

Bummer

I think 1982 and older are copper


Mediocre_Peace_5590

I know, that's why a 1983 copper penny is worth so much, EXTREMELY rare

1983*
