donnie59 Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 08/26/2025 4:33 pm You could keep it if you wish, but there were over 10 billion of them Minted. It does have a bit of copper value. Report this Post to the Staff
donnie59 Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 08/26/2025 4:35 pm Correction, 6 billion were Minted, not 10 billion. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74129 Posts	Posted 08/26/2025 5:03 pm The weight is normal and is correct. They made copper plated zinc cents and copper cents. The '82 D Small Date copper cent was made in error by accident. I wouldn't keep it. It's only worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
