1GuamBum Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 06/29/2019 1:34 pm Hello to everyone! I have been on overseas business travel and it is great to be back. I surely do miss everyone. I wanted to start my return by submitting my first PCGS submission, but afraid to getting egg on my face, I wanted to review the specs as I understand them for a successful submission. Preferred Specs: 1) 1982 Penny 2) Weight = 3.1 grams 3) Short vs Long Date : Short date will have what I refer to as a "Pot Belly Font" for the number 2 in the date (refer to attached illustration). As always, your feedback is invaluable to me. Regards, Ben, Mobile : 424.324.7910 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/29/2019 1:46 pm Neither of these are worth submitting. The Small date Denver, is one the only one that would be worth submitting. The other 7 year varieties that year are common. Report this Post to the Staff

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 06/29/2019 9:33 pm No, it must be the 1982-D small date to be the rare valuable one. 1982 cents with no mintmark were made in Philadelphia, and they are common in zinc and copper versions, as well as small and large date. Your coin appears to be a Philly copper cent, and is quite common. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 06/30/2019 07:54 am There are two versions of of the 1982 D small date,(pot belly) one made of copper plated zinc which weighs 2.5 gms, the other 1982 D small date weighs 3.1 grams. If you have the 1982 D small date copper cent that weighs 3.1 grams then you have something. If it weighs 2.5 grams, spend it. Report this Post to the Staff
