Best Answer

Zinc cents were not struck until mid-1982. My guess is that you have either:

> A copy made in some other metal; in that case it's effectively a counterfeit.

> An "off-metal" strike that happened when a blank intended for a foreign coin accidentally got mixed in with cent blanks. That's a genuine mint error and is worth a premium.

You'd have to take the coin to a dealer or other expert for first-hand evaluation to determine which you have.
