I got my coin comparator setup to accept copper clad zinc pennies. For every 7,500 cents it sorts it might make 5 to 10 errors and when I double sort all those will be correctly identified. So basically it's dead accurate.
However I have these 5 wheat pennies from the 1910's and 1920's that identify as copper clad zinc 100% of the time. They're thoroughly worn and I don't see any zinc showing so I'm sure they're not clad.
Some of Lincoln's faces on these cents look a tad bit different in the nose.
Has anyone found copper zinc alloys in counterfeit cents? I'm guessing in the 1900's it might have made sense to forge cents.
