But only two have ever been found, in 42 years. You are NOT in possession of #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandon Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 On 4/15/2024 at 2:27 PM, VasquezJ said: Is the 1982 D Lincoln 1C small date valuable No, unless it had been struck on a leftover 95% copper, 5% zinc blank, which would weigh approximately 3.11 grams and likely have to pass other tests for authentication. Only two have been found. 1982-D small dates struck from the new copper plated zinc alloy (approximately 2.5 grams), like all other varieties of 1982 and 1982-D cents are extremely common and would only be worth face value in any condition that you could expect to find them in circulation. On 4/15/2024 at 2:37 PM, VasquezJ said: But the rare [small date copper] coins are from Denver correct? Yes. Based upon the quotation you are showing, the website you are looking at is apparently spreading false information. Over 10.7 billion 1982 (no mintmark) cents were made, all of whose four varieties (all possible combinations of large and small dates and the old 95% copper and new copper plated zinc alloys) are common. The majority of the mintage was of the old alloy, whose standard weight of 3.11 grams would be the same for all cents going back to 1865, except for 1943 steel cents. Please use accepted resources such as those I referred you to in one of your earlier topics and not random websites, some of which contain false or incomplete information. Have you at least obtained a "Red Book"? The 2025 edition is now available from its publisher (whitman.com) and elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VasquezJ Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 (edited) In process of purchasing a Red Book but noticed there different types but I guess the most updated would be the better I would think. Ok I see the book you’re talking about. Edited April 15 by VasquezJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VasquezJ Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 (edited) So are the 1982 1C with and without mint are valued the same ? Edited April 15 by VasquezJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VasquezJ Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 (edited) All those coins are small date but I’m assuming there just common right? Edited April 15 by VasquezJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The coins that you are posted are small dates, but, yes, the 1982 is common regardless of its composition, and the 1982-Ds are common if they are copper plated zinc, as they almost certainly are.

VasquezJ Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 Yes the 4 coins weighed at 2.5 but the coin without mint weighed 3.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandon Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The information in your last post, which I assume is from PCGS Coinfacts, a legitimate source, is correct. The "seven varieties" don't include the extremely rare 1982-D small date copper because it wasn't intentionally made by the mint and is usually classified as a mint error.
