Can't tell anything about the 82 except like EaV says about the rim damage.

82 is VLDS, very late die state, notice how metal flow has moved all details outwards, almost touching rim, letters become distorted, appear larger/wider/stretched. They were pushing the large date dies as long as possible until the small dates were put into use later in the year.

 Can not make out doubled dies from current images. Curious if the 1969-S reverse has a floating roof? Common this year from over die polishing. Thanks, Doug. |

,I don't see any doubling ,perhaps posting a close up image of the devices you think are doubled would help! |

The devices on the large date copper cents that year look larger than the small date coins. So you would need a side by side to show the differences between a DDO and a normal coin. Guess what, I already have images to show you:  |

Again, nothing wrong with it. Normal coins worth 1 cent.

Yeah, but the problem is it's very beat up from circulation, making the value go down. If you're taking about melt value, it's only worth a couple more cents. If it was me, I just throw it back in my pile.

So both materials were used. The production run was higher as well to prevent hoarding I think. Also my be wrong, but the mint had to rework new dies in as the newly introduced zinc coins had issues striking up or filling the older dies, which slowed production. That's how the small and large dates came into play for both materials used. Thanks, Doug. |

Using the SBS (Side-by-sides) help us see if the devices are enlarged or not. This one shows the difference. Thus my continuing to use them and recommending use of them.
