The alloys on this variety have never really been studied. See Pollock for a listing of these. It is likely that other alloys exist. Pollock breaks these up as follows: Pure nickel J1767A/P1981.

Nickel alloy including standard coin nickel and at least 6 varieties of German silver J1767/P1982. This is common. Bronze alloy J1768/P1983 & P1985A Two different die pairings are known for these differing in the alignment of the head of the eagle on the pole with relation to the 'S' in 'Pluribus' on the obverse and the position of the letter 'T' in 'Cent' with relation to the numeral '1' on the reverse. Pollock lists at least 4 different alloys. The P1985A is the rarer of the 2 varieties with only 4 confirmed. It was probably the first of the 2 die pairs.
