Hi Everyone,
I stumbled upon this old cliffhanger of a NYT post:
https://www.nytimes.com/1962/07/03/arch ... onomy.html
Can anyone provide more insight on this? I thought I knew everything about the cent and come to find out in 1962 the composition of the penny changed to remove tin from the 95% copper disc and move to full 5% zinc for the remaining composition. Would love to hear any stories or articles about this. I could not find anything on google about the change so i figured someone here might have some knowledge.
Happy Hunting!
