Hello everyone, Are these the rarer small date Lincolns for 1982. Both weigh 3.1 grams.   *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! *** |

Does not appear to be a small date in my eyes. Small dates aren't super valuable anyways, unless DDO, or extremely high grade. |

Those all look like small dates to me.
And not rare because they are Philly mint. See MontCollector's link for the one to look for.

Echoing Mont and Spruett: all three are Philly small dates. Those were minted in both copper and zincolns. The rare one is the 1982 D small date copper. (Large date circulation strikes from both mints were also minted in copper and zincoln.)

Hey all! Mont collector, checked that link, first one RECORDED in 35 friggin' years? Give me a break. I'm going to say this isn't a rarity but a homemade rarity. No others? Also, if you've scoped out the zinc 1982D's I don't recall any dies with the MM that far west of center line. I DONT TINK TSO! I really can't buy it, there's more REAL copper 1943's and steel 1944's!  |

Whether it was genuine or not, it can't hurt to add that to the list of things to look for. I was looking through a pile of cents earlier that I found at a Coinstar today and it reminded me of just how many different things there are to look for... I'm feeling an itch to get some rolls tomorrow.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

There are a lot of new errors being found all the time. Some on coins even older than these. The MM position may simply be a marker for the 1982D copper Sm date. |

 so out of the original 7, which is the rarest? and what does MM mean? |

Mnknight, none of the original 7 are considered rare. There wear billions of all minted. The small date copper and zincs being started later in the year may be slightly less in population but by no means rare, sometimes hard to find a good quality of either in circulated finds.  |

OK, so no rare ones.
Does mm mean mint mark? So was Crazyb0 speaking of the mint mark on the picture in the article link?
It has taken me a long time to find small dates and a long time to find the zincs, but I haven't roll hunted either....

Here are the two styles used that year for the obverse:  Note how the bust is a different size as well. Note the distance under 'WE' to the top of the head? Edited by coop

And if there were any other copper planchets mixed in with the zinc planchets, there would be no reason they couldn't get sent to a different press/die pair. |

More like a planchet error. Could've been done on numerous dies. |

Here's PCGS OFFICIAL 8 coin issues for 1982. PLEASE NOTE: 8th listed variety is the S Proof NOT the 1982D small date discussed above on another quoted thread!  Looks like PCGS doesn't recognize a small date 82D zincoln!  Edited by Crazyb0
