4" Copper Penny Coaster 1982 Engraving by American Mule
Heads or Tails? These bad boys may come in a 4 pack with 2 heads and 2 tails....we’ve purposely added the year 1982 on the heads side to represent the last year the authentic copper penny was in production👌. A new gift idea for your hard-working mule arrives by dusty mule train this summer.
Did you know?...Pennies used to be made from 95% copper, at least until 1982. Since 2000, the price of copper has risen dramatically, making the meltdown value of these pennies more than the face value of the coin.
If your Lincoln Memorial penny has a date before 1982, it is made of 95% copper. If the date is 1983 or later, it is made of 97.5% zinc and plated with a thin copper coating.
