LJ2020 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 11/12/2021 4:15 pm So I learned something today. I thought the copper pennies where only found in 1982 D. And I need help on this one. She is definitely heavily circulated. But this coin is almost orange. I was separating my copper and zinc and found some 3.7g pennies but this one is 3.1g? Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 11/12/2021 4:20 pm The 3.1g confirms that this coin is copper, however it is the large date. You want to be looking for the small date 1982-D copper, which is the big rarity. Keep hunting! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
LJ2020 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 11/12/2021 4:21 pm So look for the 3.1g and hopefully the next ones don't this bad & . Are the 3.7g ones maybe worn down copper? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21663 Posts	Posted 11/12/2021 5:07 pm Are you sure that you don't mean 2.7g? 3.7g is too heavy for a copper cent. Report this Post to the Staff
LJ2020 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 11/12/2021 5:24 pm Sorry 3.07g or 3.06g that was a typo Report this Post to the Staff
LJ2020 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 11/12/2021 5:38 pm For example I had a few very close to this one but a bit heavier, are the bronze always going to be right at or about 3.01 Report this Post to the Staff

LJ2020 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 11/12/2021 6:00 pm Ok thank you tons. In my last box I had tons of coppers and about 50 are 1982 I feel like someone took their grandparents coins and used them for a coke. Just way to many good coins. And I am so new I am taking my time with them. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate everyone's help. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98637 Posts	Posted 11/12/2021 8:30 pm Very nice slightly under weight (possibly due to the wear of the coin) but it is indeed a large date coin.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/12/2021 11:33 pm MS (Mint State) coins are always worth a small premium but in general, average circulated '82 zinc cents carry no value over face, sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
