Charles Daughtrey is organizing a Lincoln cent survey that will employ an army of volunteers, each of whom will sort 5,000 Lincoln cents. Among the goals is to check the relative survivorship of copper-alloy cents vs. copper-plated zinc cents. Another goal is to get a better estimate of the relative mintages of small date vs large date cents in those years in which both were minted (e.g., 1960, 1970, 1974, and 1982).
