JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 06/26/2010 08:27 am I got this one in change the other day. Looks UNC to me. What do you all think? The strike is weak and mushy though. Report this Post to the Staff

captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 06/26/2010 11:52 am UNC to me too! Let me give a stab at grade too. MS-63 RD? I'm new at the MS grading but here are my thoughts. Weak strike and the couple nicks on Lincoln hold this back from MS-64. Edited by captainkurt 06/26/2010 11:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19942 Posts	Posted 06/26/2010 9:08 pm Shaft...yea, they made soooooo many cents in 82 the dies were tired and mushy. In 1982 there was over 16 billion produced! You really notice it when you search rolls. There's ALWAYS 82's in every roll. Lincoln Cent Lover!

razorear Pillar of the Community United States 613 Posts	Posted 06/27/2010 07:22 am Last year a friend of mine let me go through his deceased fathers 1/2 gallon whiskey bottles. These bottles contained all memorial cents from 60's - early 80's. He didn't spend the shiney cents that he got in change. They all went into the jugs. There was one jug with nothing but early 80's and most looked as if they came straight from the mint. From what I remember most wouldn't grade very high because of mushy strikes.
