DON’T Buy Copper Bullion:
There is tons of free copper out there. Remember when you could find tons of free 90% silver in pocket change?
Check your change; If your Lincoln Memorial penny has a date before 1982, it is made of 95% copper. The dates are 1909 - 1982
The 95% copper cent still found in circulation weighing 3.11 g
The U.S. Mint issued both compositions in 1982; they can be differentiated by weight 3.11 g for the 95% copper, 2.5 g for the zinc penny.
The Indian Head cent, also known as an Indian Head penny, was a one-cent coin ($0.01) produced by the United States Bureau of the Mint from 1859 to 1909. It had varied degrees of copper. They are more on the numismatic side.
Thank you for watching Cash and coins.
