Is this Lincoln cent worth anything 1982 d small date

 

Since I see no picture I imagine $.01.

 

The right coin looks like a small date. In that condition I am not sure what it is worth ? Wait for more opinions...

 

It is in his 1st post of this coin. I would say yes, but i do not know what grade you coin is ?

 

IMO the Small date is a copper plated zinc cent. It looks like it has a lot of small plating blisters that are common with the plated zinc cents. As far as I know only 2 1982 D small date copper Lincoln cents have been found so the chances are very slim (but possible) of finding another.
EDIT. Digital scales are cheap enough on Amazon and it's worth buying one.

 

In your second post you asked the value of the small date coin. Due to the condition of your coin it's not worth more than it's face value. The really valuable one is the 82-D copper small date. The others would probably have to grade MS 67 Red or higher to have any real value.

 

I'm a new, I'll try and attach the file again

 

My response is on the next post..

You don't have a gram scale? You really need to get one.

The answer is very simple..

If you have a Small Date Denver Mint weighing 2.5 Grams than it is worth 1 Cent

If you have a Small Date Denver Mint weighing 3.11 Grams then it is worth thousands

2.5 Grams is a Copper Plated Zinc planchet
3.11 Grams is a Copper planchet

Only 2 Small Date Denver Cents have ever been discovered and attributed and about a million threads here on CoinTalk of people thinking they discovered a third example. I doubt yours weighs 3.11 Grams.

If you don't get a Gram Scale then you are wasting our time.

 

You made Mr. P. repeat himself.

 

The weight scales are not expensive and can be had for the cost of a few beers. @paddyman98 is right about wasting your time.

 

It's not copper.

 

It's worth one cent.

 

the answer was good and it's probably the best answer I already knew all of that stuff but the end of it that's not that's not right believe me I won't be wasting anymore of your time

 

Thank you

 

You made me want to go through our '82-D's. I am like many others and will most likely never find one. Paddy is right copper/zinc. Good luck
