1982 Small print and large print/no mint Penny 1 1

[Melfine]

Can you please tell me if my 82 small date is worth anything? I read the following on US Coin Guide.

1982-D Bronze Small Date Penny

Value: $15,000

This transitional error wasn’t supposed to have been struck. Yet, somehow at least two of these 1982-D bronze small cents were struck when bronze planchets got into the presses intended to strike Denver-minted zinc small date cents. This error is a relatively recent discovery, with the first example found in 2016. Another surfaced sometime later, and the two pieces have sold for between $10,000 and $20,000 each. More examples of this extremely rare Lincoln Memorial penny may spring up in the future!

The only one of those that's similar to the correct coin is the bottom right as it has the small date numbers and the D mint mark.  The extra slim and curvy number 2 in the date and the 8 with a much smaller hole for the top hole than the bottom are the two easiest to identify traits of the small date numbers. There's nothing special about the no mint mark coins.  If the one on the bottom right weighs 3 grams, then you may have something.  If it weighs in around 2.5 grams, then unfortunately there's nothing special about it either.
