All I can tell you is that if you bought a roll of them, they’re either NOT small date or not bronze. I’ll assume you can see a D mintmark.

 

They made 17 billion cents in 1982. As Kurt has said there are
1982 Philly copper large date
1982 Philly copper small date
1982 Philly zinc large date
1982 Philly zinc small date
1982 San Francisco large date (I believe these are copper, before the switch to zinc)
1982 Denver copper large date
1982 Denver zinc large date
1982 Denver zinc small date

Now, Denver was not supposed to have made any 1982-D small date copper.
But 1 has turned up.

The roll that you bought on EBay is worth 50 cents.
The PHILLY small date in copper or zinc has value in higher condition grades. ( and the S because it is a proof coin).
