A Zinc cent weighs 2.5 grams and a Copper cent weighs 3.11 grams. There were seven different varieties of Lincoln cents released for circulation in 1982, plus one Proof cent minted in San Francisco marked with an S mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/22/2016 12:52 am chrisnheidi If there ever was a one-reply-needed topic, this is it. Thanks for the thorough evaluation cwb! Curiously enough, I was hunting tonight and weighing 82s and 83s. I found both a copper and zinc 82-P and looked in my newly acquired Red Book finding the large and small date pictures. From that, I guessed large date on this one. For my specimens tonight and chrisnheidi's the lowest point of the 8 was the most obvious difference using the ends of the 1 as reference to the naked eye.

ak0017 Valued Member Lebanon 61 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 6:34 pm Are any of the 82 copper coins valuable? What I understood from the video I was watching is that only double struck ones are.. I ended up with 5 copper & 1 zinc weighed them on a gold scale. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 7:42 pm FYI, you should post your own topic if you have a question. Valuable ones include Wexlers Doubled Die Obverses ( WDDOs fetch a small amount FYI) The 1982-D Small date copper is a VERY valuable one, and any major-ish mint error can fetch more than face value. I will put a link to WDDOs for 1982 and 1982-D below: 1982 WDDOs/WDDRs http://doubleddie.com/828781.html 1982-D WDDOs/WDDRs http://doubleddie.com/828802.html If you have any more questions let us know.
