2008? I believe the copper plated zinc cents actually lasted until 2012 when they were replaced by dilithium plated kryptonite. I could be wrong.
Correct. You noticed the misprint that I noticed. In every other reference (including an actual 1982-S proof coin in my possession) says the 1982S is a large date. I don't know if you are correct or not. I have not looked into it. I only posted this because I noticed the "1982S Small Date" misprint. Thanks for playing! lol
