If it's 3.1g then you have a big time winner. If it's 2.5g then it is worth 1 cent. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7508 Posts	Posted 02/24/2025 9:54 pm Here's an example of a genuine 82D Bronz alloy. A "1982-D small date" cent is considered a "bronze" transitional error, meaning it was struck on a leftover copper planchet during the transition from solid copper to copper-plated zinc pennies, making it a rare and valuable coin if it is indeed a true "small date" variety; the key identifier is that it will weigh closer to 3.1 grams like a traditional copper penny, unlike the lighter copper-plated zinc pennies which weigh around 2.5 grams.
