Mike Meenderink Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hello and welcome to the forum. The 1982 D is a large date cent. Both coins are common and have no specific collector value. The 2 coins you posted are worth face value of 1c. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Welcome to the NGC chat board. The 1982 cent is a small date, and the 1982-D is a large date. They are both composed of 95% copper alloy based on their weight, and both are circulated. Both varieties are abundantly common and have no collector value as circulated coins. They are only worth their face values of one cent each. The only rare variety of 1982 cent is the 1982-D small date composed of 95% copper alloy. They were apparently struck on a few leftover blanks after production had switched to copper-plated zinc (2.5 grams). Very few of these are known to exist. You would have a better chance of winning a major lottery prize than finding one. See the following graphic, courtesy of @EagleRJO, for the differences between the 1982 large and small date hubs.
