It is way cool. I'm a collector of such things as well and have an interest in ancient Egypt and the various tokens of this sort. I imagine...
There aren't that many '82 to date coins I search for. There are lots of older coins though. I look for the '82-NMM dime and the '82-D sm dt...

This is the problem with most post-1931 low mintage issues. Unless something is pretty scarce there tends to be an inordinate percentage saved...
Good news! Very unusual though.
Many moderns have been recalled over the years and it's difficult to know exact numbers melted and surviving. East German coins were turned in...
