Once Again, the weight on the coin is 3.1 grams and it is definitely a D mint mark. Die break? Maybe is why the mint mark looks like that. It looks like the mint worker tried repolishing the die to cover up his screw up with the mint mark

 

Its 3.1 grams Mr. Know it all
At least I can tell the difference between a large date and small date. Most of these coins collectors cant even tell the difference between a small date and large date. Lol

 

I never said it didn’t weigh 3.1 grams. I never commented on the large or small date and I never said you don’t know the difference. Everyone here has shown you respect and given their opinion but we don’t agree with you. I’m sorry you don’t have the funds to send to a grader but it would be a waste of money.
If that coin is what you claim it to be you’d find the funds to have it graded. Then you’d sell it to care for your family.
I wish you the best in the future but from the members that responded to your post there are over 250 hours of experience. We are just giving our experience based on what you say it is and from photos. We do not have the coin in hand.
Thank you,

Mr. Know it all

 

I’m certain you no longer need my help.

 

The same here and my wife who knows hardly anything wants to know if he’s a bot. I can’t see, and neither can she, any member that’s been rude.

 

Buddy, you don't know me very well. I'm probably one of the nicest members on this forum to make assumptions about me.
I asked you a simple thing to do and you're making it difficult.
If you think we are being rude then guess what..

Numismatics is not the hobby you should be in!

We are here to help not waste time like you are doing quoting everyone and not providing the evidence.

Not a good way to start off on this magnificent coin forum.

 

Here is one of the pictures of your coin compared to the second known 1982-D small date copper.


Notice that the 2nd known example has a bold D, which is normal on all 1982-D small date cents. It appears that the 1982 you have is the result of plating blisters; since the Mint switched to zinc cents in mid-1982, plating blisters were at their worst, and very common, in the 1980's to early 90's. Surface discoloration is also common on cents, both copper and zinc.

Because these were simply the wrong planchets that got struck by the same dies used for 1982-D zinc small date cents, there would almost certainly need to be a known variety for weak mintmarks that year (which there are none of to my knowledge) and they would appear on a considerable amount of the 1982 cents.

As for the "PCGS licensed professional" that you listed, what type are they? Did you see them at a coin show, are they a PCGS authorized retailer, or an actual grader for PCGS?

Putting it on a scale and taking a picture of the weight will greatly help.
