Two small date 1982's, one weighs 2.980 and the other is 1982 D and is zinc and weighs 2.465. The other four are big date, couple D's and couple no mint mart weights range from 2.5 - 3.0. Are any of these "real" finds? Sorry these pictures are not the best, I did not plan on showing them. After work, I will include better ones. Just thought I could get some idea from these? Should I have them graded? or not waste the time? Researching shows they may be worth something? Can I quit teaching? Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 12/21/2017 10:07 am I certainly would not get these graded. Not worth the cost. These are very common in BU. It's a good observation you have made, that there are 7 different 1982 Lincoln cents plus the proof 1982 S in copper. There are reports of a rare 1982 D small date copper cents. http://www.numismaticnews.net/artic...copper-found 1982 Large Date Copper 1982 Large Date Copper plated Zinc 1982 Small Date Copper 1982 Small Date Copper plated Zinc 1982 D Large Date Copper 1982 D Large Date Copper plated Zinc 1982 D Small Date Copper plated Zinc There is also a 1982 S Large Date Copper Proof Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 12/21/2017 10:25 am The Mint did not track separate mintages for each of the varieties, just that Philly made 10.7 billion and Denver made 6 billion. The switch happened in November of 1982, so it's estimated that only 5-10% of 1982s are zinc. Still, that is more than many regular years, so no extra value there. The 1982-D small date in copper is the BIG rarity; currently only one is known and I believe it fetched ~$30,000 at auction earlier this year. For that reason alone, I check every 1982-D small date, and they have all been zinc. Report this Post to the Staff

Wyko New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 01/07/2018 5:46 pm So, besides the 1982 D Copper being rare is the copper 1982 large date rare? Report this Post to the Staff
