ace 250 ditching zinc cents --but still finding pre 1982 and before (wheaties)

[ivan salis]

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 .

Good post Ivan but would get better coverage in the Garret forum IMHO

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