Coin Proof

1982 Penny

When Boulton and Watt added their chapter to the history of the penny, a coinage was created that was without delay subtle in its manufacturing and faultless execution, yet disarmingly simple intrinsically.

The rhythmic thumping of the steam-driven coin presses in the Soho manufactory introduced a technical marvel. The coins had been produced, at up to 84 items a minute, with well struck photos of the monarch on one facet, and the goddess Britannia on the other.

It can be true that the brand new cash have been made fairly large, particularly when compared to the old silver pennies, whose debasement through the years made copper pennies a possible alternative. These had been heavy disks of unalloyed copper, sized so that their metallic worth equaled their face value. [Two] cents of copper in 1797 produced a coin that would work nicely as a paperweight.

Large copper pennies had been standard problem at the new US Mint in Philadelphia since 1793. They were not quite as massive because the English cash, being nearer in size to the privately minted partially penny tokens common in Britain and to quite a lot of American colonial issues. Not like the English cash of the Soho mint, the American coins had been, till 1836, struck readily available operated screw presses.

Although “penny” was by no means official verbiage in America (the coins had been a “one cent” pieces) the English colonial experience made them pennies to the general public, even to the present day.

The US cent and the English penny ran a parallel course, during which every was eventually converted to extra sturdy bronze (copper alloyed with tin).

And, as nicely, the scale of the penny was greatly diminished, although much earlier in America than in Britain. The fashionable sized US cent of 19 millimeters made its first appearance as the Flying Eagle cents of 1856. More accurately, the fashionable diameter solely, as the Flying Eagles were thicker than the present coin, and made out of a tough to work but highly durable copper nickel alloy.

The Flying Eagles gave strategy to the Indian Head cent in 1859, and the Lincoln cent in 1909. Bronze returned in 1864, persevering with with just one interruption to 1962. The interruption was for a zinc-coated steel cent in 1943, with copper diverted to the struggle effort. In 1962 the tin was eradicated from the alloy in favor of zinc at 5%, the remainder copper.

By 1982 minting expenses in producing the American penny turned critical. Slightly than piece the penny altogether, Congress allowed for a coin of 97.4% zinc, with a 2.four% coating of copper. Like the “copper nose” silver pennies of Henry VIII, the zinc pennies have rather a mottled reputation. Collectors have observed the surface of the zinc cents pitting, and even effervescent, inside their mint sealed packaging.

In Britain the penny survived the 1971 decimalization and currently exists as a steel coin, thinly coated in copper. Bronze pennies have been used in some modern proof sets.

The future of the penny in America is for certain solely through 2009, when 4 variations of the Lincoln cent will probably be issued for the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth.
