1982 d small date copper penny 0

[Tacy]

I'm sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but I just got into the collection of coins and I dont know how to do everything that was required for coins.  But after all the time and Google it will seem like a great chance of luck.  I found a 1982 d small date  copper  penny.  The first problem is that i dont know what the best way to go about it is to get the ball rolling on the selling of the find.

Just one problem - it’s not a small date; it’s a large date.

Thanks for the info and I will definitely be the first to say that I really didn't know much about this and it will make part of a nice  copper  ball in all. But I take it i read the aliment of the two  backwards and again I apologize for the inconvenience

Welcome to the forum.  Definitely a large date copper 82' D.  That's a nice scale you have there as it reads out in hundredths. Not something we see very often with new collectors.

Don’t worry about it. You aren’t the first, and you won’t be the last. They really are not out there waiting to be found.

I'm with Kurt and GBrad.....definite 1982-D Large Date there.

There literally are more than 10 people who have hit multiple million dollar plus lottery wins. One lady has done it four times. There are TWO 1982-D small date copper cents.

Think about the implications of this.

And I think I need to add this from the other thread where you and I were discussing this, Kurt, so the OP sees it.  To the OP...there are two 1982-D copper small dates known 39 years after they were struck.  In contrast, there are 32 reasonably complete, well preserved adult skeletons of Tyrannosaurus Rex known 66 million years after they went extinct.  If you go by a sheer numbers game, you have a better chance of finding a 33rd reasonably complete and well preserved Tyrannosaurus than a third 1982-D copper small date cent.

For people seeking a 1982-D copper small date, I would certainly agree with that statement.  As for me, I'd rather find the Tyrannosaurus.  However, in New York, I'd be more likely to find a Tyrannosaurus' Eastern cousin Appalachiosaurus.  T. Rex was an animal of Western North America..  Here's an Appalachiosaurus  Isn't his feather mohawk spectacular?

I misspelled the name of my local Tyrannosaur. I am having a stupid day.

I don't know how he'd feel about being called a hillbilly....but maybe he'd like it.  Or maybe he was more of a punk dinosaur.  But since he looks like this now, I don't think we need to worry about upsetting him.  A six-mile wide meteor cleaned him with some Goof-Off long, long ago:
