Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 07:38 am It's worth 1 cent. A whole variety set sold on ebay of the 7 varieties of 1982 in BU condition would probably net you a few bucks though. One of them is worth more than the others ( I don't remember which one is the rarer one) but we are still talking like a buck or two in low MS grade. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 09:20 am Possibly someone punctured the coin with a straight pin. This allowed the zinc to be exposed. Then zinc rot set in on the coin. So now it's a damaged coin. Not a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff
