Small date indeed.

 

Based on those pics it appears to be a small date as stated, it's not copper is it. LOL

Wow, 90% of the time, whatever errors are presumed are not what the OP thinks it is. Nice Job!

 

She wasn't referring to any kind of error. What are you referring to?

 

Is the correct word variety?

 

Yes, in this case a "common variety". Now if it's bronze... Then we have another story.

 

Yes, it's copper. I weighed all of the 1982's before checking the date. I've only found 3 that appeared to be small date out of a bag full.

 

*sigh*

 

Well the only 1982-D small date copper was sold for $18,800.
So have fun spending all that money.

So you're saying the ENTIRE WORLD has found ONLY ONE, but you, yourself, found three. Wow, you must be so awesome.

 

Thank you. I'm trying real hard not to send anything that isn't what I think, although I'm sure I will.

 

@furryfrog02 We can learn also!

 

LOL!! I meant a "bag" full.

 

It's copper, but I wouldn't know how to tell if it was on a bronze planchet.

 

lol

 

3.1 grams is copper (bronze) same thing. It is "bronze" because it is only 95% copper. But it is interchangeably referred to as copper.
2.5 grams is zinc with copper coating

 

I learned something new - didn't know they were the same thing. Well, heckfire! I weighed it again. It's zinc. At least I've figured out the small date part.
