PCGS Slabbed 1982 D Small Date MS-67 Red.95% Copper 5% Zinc 3.1g?

The message I sent to DLRC specifically asks about the comp and weight specs, and how important it was that they had verified these specs themselves, and was directed back to the description page and assuring me it contained the accurate answers.
Yes, if DLRC knew they had an '82 D PCGS 67 RD Small Date Bronze Lincoln Cent I think is the correct term, it might realize more than the $80 I paid. Knowledgeable shop owners sell valuable varieties at bargain prices all the time, hence the CherryPickers Guide.
The possibility that a coin like this could be sitting in a graded slab unknown and overlooked since it was graded before the variety was discovered actually seems more promising than any other scenario I can think of.

I think that HGK just stated it all here. The PCGS numbering system is in place to classify all coins they grade without filling up the label with redundant information.
Have a look at the PCGS site: https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...c-rd/3050/67

My bad, this one, other is to the Philadelpia, not the Denver

Flow; you give me work to do. I weight hundred of new slabs and the difference give me 0.25 to 0.5 gr. So if you weight this slab with other must tell you exactly what you have. Remember was struck 6 bill. of coins in that year and no-one can tell how many in bronze or in zinc. I am curious to know where some one here find out it is the big rarity?

I agree RobO411, but at the time of grading, no small date copper had been found. The first one was only found in 2016...34 years after minting. I admit, I am not as familiar as I would like to be with the process coins go through when being graded and if coin weight plays any role in that, but I do feel it would play a role in authenticating a coin and would be noted in each coins profile. But with so many coins to grade it may not have been a priority for all coins at the time.
Anyways, I do assume it is just the small date Zinc and that DLRC mistakenly listed it as a 3.1g copper. I'll know later tonight either way and post the result of my test here. Until then though, I'm gonna take enjoyment from that miniscule chance that it really is copper since its still the best chance I've ever had of a true rarity.

Coin is, sadly, Zinc. Since it is encapsuled in a Gen 4.1 slab, I took 2 other gen 4.1 slabs each with Roosevelt dimes MS69DCAMs. I placed a BU 2021-D dime weighing 2.3g flat on the 1982 slab, and on each dime slab I placed a BU 1959 copper cent each weighing 3.11g respectively. Before each weight check I reset the scale and measure accuracy with a nickel. Prepared also were 2 BU 2021-D Zinc Cents each weighing 2.5g and 2.48g respectively.
First weighing of the 1982-D and dime: 36.1g
First weighting of the Dimes plus Copper cents: 36.7g, 36.69g
Second weighing of the 19i2-D and dime: 36.1g
First Weighing of the Dimes plus Zinc cents: 36.1g, 36.07g

It was clear from the first Dime and Copper weighing, but I had to be diligent.
Good night all.

seller has description wrong; id believe that over PCGS mis-identifying copper over copper plated zinc.
PCGS website says value is $60 still so nothing real crazy and could probably re-sell for same price you bought at or try to get money back from seller for wrong description of product.
