1996 Zinc penny

[him]

Thank you for your unwise critique of my coin. I am not sure how you managed to grade it from the pictures I posted. Paying particular attention to my comments about how sharp an image this coin confers should tell you that I will not vandalize this prize. Your unprofessional behaviour has betrayed any sort of respect for fellow collectors and will now be discounted as rubbish by me from here on. I suggest you do not reply to any more of my topics and try not to bother anyone else with idiocy.

I agree with Lightwire that it's either coated pure copper or decoated from a zinc planchet from the following year. Also, many times what a collector feels is a "wished for" grade, doesn't turn out to be reality. One teeny bagmark or discoloration drops it a point each time.
