The sought-after cent is a 1982-D small date copper. This one is copper but lacks a mintmark. Can't tell if it's large or small date from photo provided.
If I zoom-in on the image, it looks like a Large Date 1982(P) cent, but I can't tell for sure on the size.
The one you want is the 1982-D cent struck on a 3.11 gram bronze (copper) planchet as others have noted above. While it is possible to find one of these rare coins, you may have better odds of winning the lottery... maybe a few times over.
