1980 Zinc cent?
I found a 1980 Lincoln cent that looks to be zinc. It's circulated, and there is no copper on it at all. Will provide pics later.

Re: 1980 Zinc cent?
:welcome: The mint started plating them in mid 1982. Your coin was probably plated post mint. It probably weighs a heavy 3.11 grams.
