1982 Lincoln Cent. I know basically nothing about Lincoln Pennies. I received it in change. Thought it pretty. The toning is really awesome in hand. That's what made me notice it, and I don't even like toning. I believe this is a large date? Pics are extremely high resolution and I take horrible photos so that's really not a great combo to show off how pretty it looks in hand. It is a great way to show every single minute flaw, make the surfaces look rough, and make sure the details are blurry ;-) Please let me know what you think?    Edited by yellow88

By using the search forum on the sidebar, there are numerous other posts on the same subject. Here is one by scrolling down a bit that has photos from coop that shows you how to identify the differences. http://goccf.com/t/276247The coin itself appears to have plating bubbles giving it the rough appearance.

Looks like a lot of lamination bubbles on the obverse.

Thanks T-BOP especially for the photo compliment. That put a smile on my face this morning. I needed that. I certainly appreciate you taking your time and sharing your grading expertise T-BOP. As I eluded to in my OP about lack of skill the surfaces are perfectly smooth but no matter how hard I tried they look bumpy in pics. Thankfully I was able to capture the toning fairly well. I was curious if Lincoln Cent collectors (you all) like their cents toned or bright red/brown etc? |

Large date, keep it if you like, but it will never be worth more than one cent.
