Dankydoesit New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/07/2022 2:16 pm Your telling me its worth 10k? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21663 Posts	Posted 04/07/2022 2:30 pm No, it is worth 1 cent. It is the 1982D Small Date COPPER coin that is worth money. That's why I pointed out that yours is a zinc cent Report this Post to the Staff
Dankydoesit New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/07/2022 6:13 pm Awe man.. So close! How can you tell its zinc? because of the tarnish.. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21663 Posts	Posted 04/07/2022 8:33 pm Quote: How can you tell its zinc? By the zinc dust bubbles behind Lincolns head. If you want to double check just weigh it. A zinc cent weighs 2.5g, a cooper cent weighs 3.11g. Correct typo Edited by JimmyD 04/08/2022 06:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

Flowme911 Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 04/08/2022 11:43 pm Will be posting a new topic on this, purchased an PCGS MS67 1982-D small date cent on ebay. David Lawrence Rare Coins, the seller, confirmed description details to me, that the coin was previously confirmed to be 95% copper 5% zinc, and weighs 3.1g even. This was an $80 cherry pick. PCGS graded pre-2016 and no attributes are provided since pre-2016 no small date copper were believed to exist. Will post soon with full photos. Report this Post to the Staff
