nancylou Valued Member Canada 99 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 12:44 pm Hello friends, just wondering about a 1982 penny, weight is 3.08g. It shows 3.08 when in the middle of the scale but I couldn't upload the pic so moved it to the bottom to make it smaller.Should I get it graded? Thank you Edited by nancylou 02/08/2019 12:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 12:55 pm Normal cent at its normal weight. Not worth grading. The big one for 1982 is the 1982 D small date copper. Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 12:57 pm Your coin is a normal copper cent from 1982. Very common. It is worth 1 cent, or ~1.8 cents if you calculate the copper melt value. It is normal to find 1982 cents in both copper and zinc compositions. 3.08 grams is within tolerance for a copper which should be 3.1 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
