Reply:Not all penies are copper plated zinc.  I can't remember exactly, but 1984 seems to be stuck in my head for they year they switched from solid copper to copper clad.
Reply:I didn't know that.  I looked it up quick and you are right -- it was 1982 to be exact.  I thought it was much longer ago.Have to hoard those older pennies. And -- that stainless repair looks great.
Reply:Thanks for the education on the penny and the comments. Will have to remember to use the old ones for backers that zink tasts nasty Last edited by Waldarosa; 05-11-2007 at 01:14 PM.
