hate modern junk zinc cents ? --- but like to find wheatie cents -- willl notch out the cents icon * on your ace 250 --pre 1982 cents will still ring up but under the dime icon (copper cents and clad dimes have a similar metal make up copper wize -- so they will come in under dimes) ---warning **** if the area might have indain head cents in it by cutting out the zinc cents you might miss indain head cents as well .--- so if the area was used say past 1930 or so when most indains were not in curclation anymore zinc out before 1930 zinc in .

Ivan, skypilot here! Great tip, and great idea to remember the Indians, as they do read all the way from lead to zinc! :thumbsup: Great hunting and good luck!! Regards, Richard
