[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3229705, member: 78298"]They only made small date zinc cents in Denver. 1982 was a transitional year they switched from copper to zinc at the end of the year. There are less small dates than large dates. But in 1982 they made 17 billion cents. Most large dates, and most copper. 1 single copper 1982-D small date has been found. Left over copper planchet mixed in with all the zincs. There may be another out there, but it's pointless to actively look for it. Sorry for the discouragement, that's just the reality. Yes I weigh my 1982-D small dates, just in case. But you can also weigh ALL of the 1983 cents. They are all supposed to be zinc but a few coppers have surfaced. Later years also. There are more off metal 1983 and later years than the single famous 1982-D small date copper. Finding one of these out of billions and billions of coins is unlikely. One usually turns up one day, but the odds of you or I finding it, is MUCH higher than Powerball odds.[/QUOTE]
