Igor22 Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 11/29/2021 2:05 pm I've tried my best to to explain that 1982 was a transitional year of the Copper and Copper/Zinc Lincoln Cent coins, and both the 3.11 grams copper and 2.5 Copper/zinc are quite common and are not any sort of an error. I have provided screenshots and other online links of information about the 1982 transitional Lincoln Cent, and I received a message reply...."You are verifying what I said is true! What you showed me is exactly what I put in the description!" Can I get some others to possibly help out before someone unknowingly makes a very bad purchase that may be intended as a gift for a collector. See the photos of the coin and description. Link is below the photos. https://www.ebay.com/itm/rare-1982-...313772245043 * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/29/2021 2:48 pm Not being able to read the scale should be a red flag to buyers.Also looks like a large date,when it is the small date copper that is rare. Buyer beware. John1 Edited by John1 11/29/2021 2:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 11/29/2021 3:16 pm It's clearly a large date. Not even worth $1 until you get into >MS64. The description is wrong in many ways - it's not an error, not rare, and as you've told them already, there were many copper cents produced after 1981. Report this Post to the Staff

If you see one for sale on an online site for less, don't trust/believe it. Edited by halfamind 11/29/2021 6:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
