    Based on the appearance of the coin (with what look to be plating bubbles) my guess is that it’s zinc, not bronze.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Looks bubbly around “Liberty”, so, I predict that “3.11 grams” written on paper before you weigh it does not mean it it is a copper planchet.
    Avoid the autocorruption of “pennies” to “Penny’s” —“cents” is what we call them.
    Fix the title, you’re not sending a text message.

    Beside the bubbles, you can see the zinc core peeking through at the top of cent.
    No need to buy a scale, it is not a copper coin, it is a zincoin worth 1 cent.

  • Ok the cents here look a weeee bit better and I wonder nvrmind

  • LIVEN 2 MAKE NO CENTS I had a not to shabby early morning hunt have a blessed day

    When it (‘82-D small date weighing 3.11 grams) is in a PCGS holder and authenticated, the thread will get traction and better responses.

    I’ve never seen staples radiate from the coin before…

    Smitten with DBLCs.

    They're trying to get away from the coin.
