rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 02/10/2009 11:11 am I believe it has something to do with the '8'. Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 02/10/2009 11:38 am There is a large date and a small date variety of 1982 cents. On one (I don't remember which), the top part of the 8 is smaller than the bottom part, resembling a snowman. There are also differences in the twos, which I think is easier to spot. Then there are zinc versus copper varieties for this year. So, seven in all. There's lots of information out there on how to tell them all apart. Google "1982 Lincoln Cent varieties".
