7 different varieties of 1982 pennies? I didn't know that ! 1 1

[Mr.Bill347]

Until I purchased a BU set of 1959-2020 set of pennies I didn't know there were 7 different varieties of 1982.

This is why so many newbies are confused when looking for the jackpot 1982D small date copper coin, only a tiny few exist but all those youtube get rich quick hucksters get lots of folks looking before they even know what to look for.

There are 8 if you count the copper 1982D Small Date but I doubt you will find a slot for one in any coin holder.

Well, now, gentlemen, I have to bring in my two cents... 😊. 

I KNEW THIS!! I an whiz through those dates, or so I think, and with my scales tell which is which. It still gets a little foncusing, oops, I mean confusing, at times, but I am so tickled. I knew something!

There are good photos of all seven collectable varieties, as well as the extremely rare eighth variety certified by NGC:
