Filled die.

 

What does filled die mean and I don't see a little man

 

It's not red. Red means mint state. Your red is the metal in the coin reacting to the environment. Water, soil, air, chemicals, elements.

 

Ok why cant i see the ignitials

 

Possibly worn off, or encrusted.

 

It's initials, and a filled die means some foreign substance (usually referred to as grease) got into the recessed area and kept the metal from flowing into it. Commonly called grease filled dies or filled dies, interesting but no added value.

 

missing vent too

 

But there are some 1982 Lincoln cents worth money

 

Yes, you are correct. For the most part they must grade MS-67 or 68. There is one that is really valuable but you will never find one. It is the 1982-D Small Date in Copper. I only know of one of those being found.

 

Ok
