So after some research I can see the difference between the small date and large date. I would like your opinions on the coins ratings and if you can see any DDO. I'm still new to this. any opinions about ratings and possible value. Coin 1 1982 SM DT   Coin 2 zinc LG DT   coin 3 1982-P LG DT   coin 4 1982-D LG DT   |

Is the 1982 D small date a copper coin? How much does it weigh?

Nothing of value here but you did get the LG/SM dates correct.

All of these are worth face value, but you do have awesome images. It's good that you know the differences between Small Dates and Large Dates.  Errers and Varietys.

Is the 1982 D copper worth more ? Yes, but only the Small Date Copper cent. It's extremely rare as one has been only discovered. Your chances of finding one are super slim, but I would still keep your eye out for them though. Errers and Varietys.

May of us "old timers" question the validity of the "one" found last year as a major production run of "many more out there". This was more than likely a fluke, a copper planchet on the floor was tossed into the hopper, or similar. Instances of wrong planchet strikes usually have a mint employee's hand in it whether intentional of accidental.

Also, you can easily see that the SD-D is zinc, since there is zinc coming out from under the mintmark (which may eventually rot off completely).

It's probably a good and reasonable hypothesize on what happened. I'm still looking at mine. If there was only two blank planchets tossed into the hopper, I want to be the person to find the other one.  |
