Well, that's because, officially, there were none minted. A few may have slipped through as error coins: http://goccf.com/t/280749
If you're hunting for those, just learn to differentiate large date from small dates and set aside any small date 1982 cents minted in Denver. Weigh those to determine if you have zinc (2.5g) or copper (3.1g).
To date, there is only one known example of this coin in the 95% Copper alloy. There are most likely many more out there. The way to tell the difference between the Copper and the 97.5% Zinc cents is to weigh them.
I STARTED collecting to find a 1969s DDO..I KEEP collecting to find a 1982D small date bronze!:) Cause Ive got#127926; 'high hopes'#127926; (Good thing numismatics doesn't apply to rubber tree plants! lol)
