spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/08/2017 11:11 pm I PMed Koinpro (Ken Potter) a couple days ago to take a look but, I haven't heard anything. I believe he would be the best person to get an opinion from before submitting it. His direct email can be found at the end of his article on the first '82-D SD copper found: http://www.numismaticnews.net/artic...copper-found As 11997755 suggested, keep it safe until a final expert determination can be had.

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 11/09/2017 08:37 am The metallic composition and obverse master hub changes ultimately led to the creation of seven different types of 1982 business-strike Lincoln cents, including: 1982 brass large date 1982 brass small date 1982 zinc large date 1982 zinc small date 1982-D brass large date 1982-D zinc large date 1982-D zinc small date "The best scale to use for weighing your 1982 cents is one that measures down to at least the tenth of a gram," he says; brass 1982 cents weigh 3.11 grams whereas the zinc cents come in at just 2.5 grams. He says tipping balance scales also make it easy to tell brass cents apart from zinc." https://coinweek.com/education/coin...ges-rewards/ If your Small Date 82-D does weigh 3.11 grams, you may indeed have something. http://www.numismaticnews.net/artic...copper-found Edited by oih82w8 11/09/2017 08:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/09/2017 12:50 pm Did that 1983 D weigh 3.1 on the same scale that you 82 D small date now weighed 2.5? Because an 83 D that weighs 3.1 grams is very valuable too. I think we need some fresh batteries in all the scales and calibrate them with a KNOWN weight standard and then try weighing the coins again on BOTH scales. If they still disagree then we need several more sets of scales to reach a consensus of which scale is wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
