John Arbuckel New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 2:16 pm I was looking through some 1982 pennies and I think I found the small date kind. Am I right and is it worth anything? I'm not sure if this is the right variety, I'm kind of confused on all the different variants for the 1982 cent. On mine you can clearly see the 2 is more curvy and from what I understand that helps to determine if its a small or large date. Weighs 3.09 grams Here's some photos... * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 3:28 pm There's also bronze versus zinc, but very little value difference between any of the variants (or value at all) until you get into high MS grades. Only two 1982-D small date bronze have ever been found, but the rest are common. Report this Post to the Staff
John Arbuckel New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 10:44 pm OK, thanks for the help everyone! I guess this really isn't worth more than one cent. I'll hold onto it just in case I come across any 1982D pennies so I can compare them and see if they have the small date. Report this Post to the Staff
JungleDuck New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 10:51 pm Yes it is a small date. However, aside from small and large dates you also have the D mint mark and if they are bronze or zinc. If I'm not mistaken, the one you should look for should be a small date, Denver mint, and bronze (should weight around 3.1 grams).
