The last year of the 95% copper cents was 1982. Midway through 1982 the US mint replaced the 95% copper coins with copper plated zinc cents, so there are some 1982 cents that are copper, others are zinc. However, all Lincoln cents prior to 1982 are 95% copper, and all circulation Lincoln cents dated 1983 and later are copper plated zinc.
