You need to weigh it

i already weighed it sir 3 diff times and it weighed 3.11 grams.

 

Pretty sure Cheech is a "ma'am".

With a weight at 3.11 grams, the next steps are to make absolutely sure that it's a D mint-mark and a small date. Clear close-up photos are what we'll need.

Since only a couple of examples of 1982-D small-date copper cents have turned up, it's extremely unlikely that you've found one of them -- but with photos, we can help you decide for yourself.

 

Take a picture of it and post it so we all can celebrate with you

 

Yes female

 

I have Lincoln pennies 1972D, 1985D,1989 WAM, 1992,1999D dd CAM, 1996dd CAM, 2000,CAM, 2001 CAM does it worth some money? Wanted to be graded pls help. Thanks

 

You want 1992p+d cam. 1998 1999 and 2000 wam. The 92p+d cam are extra rare. You might want to check your 92's

Haha this started back in 2016. Our friend @Cheech9712 may have partied too hard on the recent holiday and seems to have resurrected several old dead threads.

 

Damn. Sorry

 

It's all good Glad to have you around haha

 

Awww this is good stuff. Thanks for the info.who knew? I collected 82s, long before i knew any of this. Just because for me it was the yr. Not sure if it was the best yr. But definitely the most memorable yr ever. Thanks again

Does this look like the small date 1982 d copper penny

 

No. that is clearly a large date. FYI - welcome to the forum. Also, you should start your own thread if you have a question. It's not considered polite to hijack someone else's thread with questions about your own coin, even if it is in the same vein. Right @paddyman98 ?

 

Large date...keep dreaming!

Notice how different the small date looks from your coin:

I thought I would post to show examples of the different varieties since this one gets confused all the time. And the San Francisco or West Point or Philadelphia minted is still a almost impossible challenge identifying them apart.
