1982 no mint mark small date?

The melt value you will receive is 1/2 cent for each cent.
You don't get the spot price for alloyed copper. You get 25%.
They will be worth more as face value than copper melt for 100+ years. That is something that hoarders are uninformed about.

Yes in 1982 more were made of copper as they switched to zinc at the end
of the year, and they encountered some problems with the new zinc coin.

Funny I have one that weight is 3.06 and it is a small date.copper. also has many errors as you can plainly see

 

That's a large date. Shut up now.

 

Also have small dates at 2.5grams and large dates from 2.5 all the way to 3.13 in weight

 

Look very close and you will see it's a small date so you shut up now get your specks out and look again.

 

It's also a DDO. and reverse 3.06 grams very rare coin.looks like large date due too the doubling. I'll take more shots of it bc I know exactly what I have.....

 

Wrong!

 

Rite here it is at the angle you can see the2 in large dates are straight line down to tail. Small have slight arch towards tail.so sir your wrong. Now see the slight arch.or do I need to get a crayon

 

Like said before I know what I have weight 3.06 again very rare.and very mine. So put away the Hatorade.

 

Ignored.

 

Love being rite. How's that taste you being wrong.

 

It's a large date. The 2 took a hit but you can easily tell that the 8 is from a large date coin. Also, I can't see any doubling in your pics. Your coin suffered from environmental damage and that's why you think you're seeing other things that aren't there. Sorry, but it's a spender

 

You are wrong your cent is a large date.
Common corroded and possibly plated.
It's worth one cent

 

I believe not I've got three other small dates and I know the difference in the 2 s. But that's your opinion BC this 2 has an arch large dates DONT.....Plus the weight of 3.06 is attached to this coin

 

What do you guys think of this 97 close am

 

Here's another

 

And last 97 no mint I have

 

Thought this was a nice find

 

I have every year from 60-2000 1904 1928.

 

Please note that 2 is damaged (look at the full obverse pic, the blown up one is too blurry). It took a hit and since copper is a malleable metal, it’s not hard for it to be moved and distorted. Therefore, the 2 SHOULD NOT be used as a diagnostic in determining sm vs lg date.

Fortunately, there are other easily seen diagnostics that can help ID the coin, such as the 8. Notice how the top and bottom circles of the 8 are of equal size on your coin. Compare that to a true small date. On a small date, the top circle is slightly smaller, like a snowman. Also, notice how the 8 is larger on the large date. Compare the pictures and it’s easy to see that you have a large date.

However, if you still feel you have found the 3rd example out of 6 Billion 1982-D Cents minted, you can send it to a TPG for authentication. After fees, postage, and insurance, it will cost you about $50-70 and you will have to pay regardless of their opinion. Choice is yours.
