Question for ALL hunters ...?

[Dozer D]

In our current day & age of copper/clad coinage, has there ever been reported of finding of a "pure copper" coin that had NO clad coating? Anything is possible, just like the copper 1943 cent instead of steel (only a very few exists).
Comments please, just a thought. DozerD

Technically there aren't any "pure" copper Lincoln's. There have been nonplated 1983's found.

Yep and a 1982-D "Small Date" (.950 Copper, .050 Zinc and Tin) Lincoln Cent that was not supposed to be minted.
