Just something I was reading about 1982 small dates being worth something. I need a scale to weigh some of my coins
It has to be a small date 1982 - D copper penny to be of any value, but only 2 have been found I believe. It is a small date, but its not worth any more than face value.
As @Collecting Nut said, it is not worth the effort. The green is where the micro thin copper has reacted to atmospheric conditions, and the dark areas are where the zinc core is exposed. Once the core has been exposed to oxygen and the atmosphere the rot has begun, just a matter of time before it crumbles away
