coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/12/2020 3:38 pm Yes. Weight? (3.11G =copper, 2.5=G Zinc) These are the common ones. The Denver copper one is the premium example: Report this Post to the Staff
Fistcha Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 01/12/2020 3:48 pm Mine weighs 3.11g, so the only D is the expensive one, why not the Philadelphia or s or w mint could've made the same mistake leaving the planchet in? Report this Post to the Staff
CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 01/12/2020 3:53 pm The Philadelphia mint produced over 10 billion small date copper cents, so it wasn't an accident. The 1982 D small date one is the only one that's valuable because its the only one that didn't produce copper cents at all, unlike the other mints and date varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/12/2020 3:59 pm Because they didn't strike any of the small date copper cents from Denver. Only one known. (Probably a mint employee created one and tossed it into the bin? Report this Post to the Staff
