Hi Just came across a 1982 small date 3.11 do I have yet another penny to add to my collection? I know the Denver mint is is the Holly Grail, just not sure about the Philadelphia small 3.11 can anyone shed some light on this for me Many Thanks Chris
It can be confusing there where 7 different coins made that year of the 82 if memory serves me here one that helped me. Dave
Looks like some environmental damage but it will make a good place holder for a 1982 SD Copper until you find something better. IMO, the easiest way to tell the LD from SD is look at the 2 in the date. @Dave363 posted a some good pics. You can also find these pics on the web if you need a reference sometime in the future
Ya I’m confused not a big task for me. Do know anything else about this treasure? Yeh another worthless penny.... The hunt continues . Thanks
Don't feel too stressed about it. There are 7-coin sets of BU 1982 cents floating around all over the place - cheap, cheap.
Small date copper. Small date p mints zinks are the better ones. Not counting small 82d bronze(brass. Copper) whatever
the shoulder is there its just one ugly penny I seam to find the ugly pennies... I think i'm going to start a post (Ugly Abe how did this happen to you)? I have seen some really beat pennies... but heres the Pic....
