kakaratt77 Pillar of the Community United States 1414 Posts	Posted 06/08/2015 11:31 am I know they started making pennies in 1982 mostly out of zince with copper plating, correct? Are there copper 82's and if so, are they common? Thanks. Jeff Report this Post to the Staff

tapapple65 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 06/08/2015 11:43 am In 1982 the Lincoln Cent was made with both copper and zinc. I have heard of a few 1983's found that were copper. Those are the ones to watch for. Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 06/08/2015 11:56 am In 1982 there were seven different varieties of Lincoln cents produced for circulation. The one to watch for is the 1982-D small date Copper! There is a reverse doubled die that is pretty rare also. http://hermes.csd.net/~coneca/conte...ECAStory.htm Edited by cwb 06/08/2015 11:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

Like a 1983 or 1943 Copper cent. Edited by cwb 06/08/2015 3:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
