1982 D Can u give me a grade on my two pennys and tell me what there worth ?

I'm not sure where you are getting your information from, but the valuable coins that you refer to are extremely rare. I wouldn't use that source as a solid coin information tool.

Many people come to this forum claiming they have rare errors worth a lot of money. Without pictures we can't help you to determine authenticity.

Also... You don't send supposedly mint errors to get graded, you send them to get attributed.

 

Our story begins in 1982, when the alloy of the cents was changed from 95% copper to approximately 95% zinc. All cents minted subsequently to the change contained approximately 95% zinc. However, since 1982 was a transitional year, the possibility existed that some leftover copper planchets could have been used inadvertently to strike 1983 coins. The same situation led to the 1943 Copper cent and the 1944 Steel cent.

In 2006, variety expert Billy Crawford reported receiving some hand-wrapped rolls of cents from a bank teller with dates from the 1970s through the 1980s. While sorting through these rolls, Mr. Crawford set aside all the 1983 cents to be weighed later. Since the new zinc alloy cents weigh approximately 2.5 grams, imagine Billy's excitement when one of these 1983 cents weighed in at 3.1 grams (the weight of a 95% copper cent)! Who knows who originally turned these rolls into the bank, but whoever did gave away the find of a lifetime!

Interestingly, the transition occurred midway during the production of 1982 cents. Thus, any leftover copper planchets should have been used for 1982-dated coins. Given the discovery of the 1983 copper cent, the existence of a 1983-D copper cent is also possible. Few coins from the Memorial Cent series have caught the attention of non-collectors or even the media's. However, if any coin in this series should, the 1983 Copper Cent would be a very good candidate. As of today, there have been more 1943 copper cents found than 1983 copper cents. Now that you know what to look for, perhaps you can find one, too! So my poi t is if you run a cross the 1982 copper error penny to know if its real for sure u can just weight it. As well even though there are Zink 1982 pennys out here as well the difference is the Zink weights 2.5 and the real copper error 1982 penny weights 2.9 to 3.11 so if you have one that weights 3.0 to 3.1 or 3.11 its real and you should hold on to it...I would any way because I don't know any zink pennys that weight 3.1 or brass I'm may saying but yet you say mines are the large date...

 

On the large date the 8 is bigger than the 2 and taller than the 2 and the large date don't weight 3.1 or 3.0 or 3.11 only the real copper error penny weight those amounts by scale

 

Well my phone camera take messy pics and my pictures are not clear as u can see but they tell u on line to go by the weight if u really wanna know if its real and if the weight is right the best thing to do is send it in and get a second answer and have it grade it....any thing possoble right ....I'm just saying

 

Now I do have two 1983s but from the looks of it my 1982 error pennys are more real then the 1983s I have because the 1983s I have only weight 2.5 on the scale this is how I know the 1983 I have are not real but the 1982s are because of the weight.....and sound....

In 1982, 7 types of cents were minted

1982 Large Date Copper (3.1 grams)
1982-D Large Date Copper (3.1 gms)
1982 Small Date Copper (3.1 gms)
1982 Large Date Zinc (2.5 gms)
1982-D Large date Zinc(2.5 gms)
1982 Small Date Zinc (2.5 gms)
1982-D Small Date Zinc (2.5 gms)

The rare error is the 1982-D small Date Copper

All 1983 coins were minted using the copper plated zinc planchets. A rare error struck on leftover copper planchets weighs 3.1 gms.

Only a few of each error are known.

The pics you posted are 1982 and 1982-D coins and both large dates and not rare.

Hope this helps clear things up.

 

Well a lot of time when I'm talking about the error penny I don't say rare pennys some times because I figured you would know there rare any way I mean were talking about small to large dates made of copper with no Zink so of course there rare error coins

 

I understand that clearly but those two pennys I posted was just two out of the other ones I have and I was looking at them and thays how I could tell the difference I just didnt post them because my phone sucks and dont take.good pics

 

Did you read what I told you before? You need to get the coin in question Attributed as a Mint Error, not graded. They will grade your coin even if it's not an error. Do you understand?

 

Besides 1982-D Small Date copper, and the 1983-D copper, there is also a 1989-D copper. (I think there is one more but I forget the date). It appears it is the Denver coins that have a possibility for this much more than Philly.
You could look at 1982-D SD's, and 1983-D's every second for the rest of your life and never find a copper.

 

Yeah I know and I have 3 bit the weigjt don't match up to.what they suppose to weight it say 2.5 so I know that's not it

 

But any way I wanyed to ask some one what they thouvjt about the 1990 s mint penny with no S on it....I have it here now .....

 

NO... start a new separate thread on this one. don't confuse the 2 coins in question!

 

1990 no s mark penny

 

Create a new thread!

 

I can't up load the file for some reason sorry

 

What are the 1990 no s mark penny worth its shine front and back to?

 

One last time... Start a new thread!

 

As people have said above, there are 7 types of pennies minted in 1982. The ones that you have are normal pennies. They are worth one cent each. As for the 1990 penny, it was minted in Philladelphia if it has no mint mark. There's no reason to assume it was minted in San Fransisco because it is shiny. I hope this helps.
