Thank you! Okay, so here are all the finds I have gotten from my work for Lincoln cents. Not too bad considering a portion of my work consists of a hospital cafeteria. Lol.  |

Thank you! I found these "finds" today at work as well. From what I've read, the 2009 coins are somewhat uncommon/rare? Funny how I just read this recently and found one today. Pretty gunked up, though...   Also found this... I don't know if it's of any significance or not, though? Weren't there different varieties of materials used in 1982?  |

There are also large and small dates to consider. In total there are seven varieties for circulating cents (there is no 1982-D small date 95% copper).

Yes, the 2009 cents are not all that common. For some reason, they seem particularly prone to unsightly toning and corrosion. If you find a nice, full red 2009/2009-D cent in AU condition, it is indeed your lucky day.

Hmm. I wonder which one that I have! Large date, for sure. Looks 95% copper. Early plating (1982, 1983) is usually bad and can be seen a mile way. Weight will confirm.

Thanks! Will look into it. I now have direct access essentially to a cash register at my job. I have found some goodies today that I wasn't expecting. Always enjoy finding wheat cents. And found a 68 S.  Several more 1982 cents. I don't know which kind they are.   |
