TauNotPi New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 8:47 pm I know theoretically there could be something weighing 0.6 grams on the scale that's out of the croped image zone but it's legit. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 8:55 pm @tnotp, we trust you when you say it weighs 3.1g. Remember that in 1982, the mint made both solid copper and copper-plated zinc cents. Yours is copper and weighs what it should (not a mint error).

TauNotPi New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 9:12 pm But they switched to zinc this year so shouldn't it weight 2.5 grams? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 9:17 pm Ok sorry just to be clear: in 1982, both types were minted. Here is a link from a coinweek article about this: https://coinweek.com/education/coin...ges-rewards/ There is a nice section talking about the weights of the two alloys.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74718 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 9:20 pm It's a Large Date Cent, not the Small Date Cent. You're looking for the Small Date Denver cent that weighs 3.1 grams. You have a completely normal coin here. https://www.numismaticnews.net/arti...t-discovered I would highly suggest you read about the differences between the Small Dates and Large Dates. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/...es/1982.html Errers and Varietys.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 10:05 pm hard to see, but clear enough to tell that what you have is a large date, not the extremely valuable small date 82-D copper. There are only 3 or 4 82-D small date coppers known. They were all caught in the wild, so there are probably more out there waiting to be found! Happy hunting! to the CCF!
