1982 was a transitional year so some were made from copper (3.11g) and others were produced from the new Copper Plated Zinc planchets (2.5g)

The scale that it is sitting on says it weighs 3.01g. Within tolerance for a copper cent.

Thank u so much and I have some 1982 d large dates that weigh well over 3 grams but my other ones weigh 2.4 to 2.6 and they feel and look different.i also have a 1983 d that is 3 grams

Before sending them off, would you supply a clear cropped picture of both sides. 

Thanks

The last coin posted is a small date.

Yay I've got 2 of them now what do I do with them? Pay $25 to have them graded and I've seen posts where people send off their coins and after 3 months still haven't heard anything

This has to be one of the most asked questions on any coin forum and so far they have all been 100% wrong. No 1982D copper cents have been found.

Melissa, in order to help you identify your 1982D cents, look at the following photo. Personally for a quick identification, I just look at the distance of the 2 from the rim but you can also tell by the shape of the 8 and the 2.

I finally got that pic thank u. That helps so much

I've now got the photo thanks guys

I was looking at the 2. But I've about 7 more that I'm not sure of

I do believe this is a true small date and it's over 3 grams

Thank u.I read everywhere that vinegar and water cannot hurt a copper penny.apparently they are full of .that makes me sad that I ruined my oldest penny but I do still have my steel 1943 penny lol.I'm really interested in pennies.I thought that it was way too much for me to remember every type of coin and every error but I stuck to pennies for some reason.they're more interesting

I only used vinegar and water and my lighting in my room is terrible but I hope this helps

I have a few different wheat pennies not sure which one worth keeping or have any real valuable

Oh wow thank u

Thank u I'll still post the backs and better pic of the second one

Thanks everyone so much.I like what was said about finding a penny worth more than 250,000 on heritage auction because my kids are teenagers and they giggle is mom playing with her pennies again lol.I'm like yes I am and my granny makes fun says I'm wasting my time but I can't wait sometimes to go to a store or McDonald's just so I can get change and look at them.I had a girl tell e one time really u collect pennies I normally just throw them away and my heart sank.ii told her u can't do that lol.it is an interesting Hobbie and I don't have much money being a single mom so I'd be lying if I said it wouldn't be cool to fund one worth enough to change my kids life's right now.the oldest coin I own is 1939 nickel and 1947 wheat penny

Are the only real valuable wheat pennies the 1909,1943 copper and the 1955 Philadelphia mint dd

Well actually I have two if them and now I can't tell if they're both the same coin or two different ones.I've got more pics

OK thank you

Is this coin like the one that sold for 126,000?
