Are there any 1983 Lincoln cents known to be struck on a 95% copper
planchet? I cant remember if any are known or ever found. Thanks for any info. Brian

When in 1982 did the change from copper to zinc happen? If it was early in 1982, then I would think there would be little chance of a copper 1983 cent. But I have wondered about it and other composition errors that might exist, such as steel 1944 cents, silver 1965 dimes/quarters/halves, 40% silver 1971 halves or 35% silver 1946 nickels.

According to the website below, the change took place around mid 1982, this was the only thing could find close to a date. So I would say during the summer of 1982.
