coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/16/2020 10:12 pm Well three of these images are the same. (the lighter colored ones.) You can see the damage on the 'E' the same on all three of them. Other than that they are normal 1982 Large dates and probably copper. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 03/16/2020 11:40 pm It helps to post one coin (with specific questions) at a time. Both cents shown are large date, the weights will tell you if they are zinc or copper. Neither large dates are rare. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/17/2020 2:22 pm The answer to your question: Is this even a penny? The answer is no. The U.S. Mint never made Pennies. They only made Cents. England had Pennies. Only non collectors call that. Collectors call them what they they really are. Cents! Edited by coop 03/17/2020 2:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
