I once bought 5 sets of 1982 cents, all seven varieties in BU condition, for a dollar. 5 sets, one dollar. Every coin BU. Yes, that makes the average price close to 3 cents. BU condition, in a holder, 5 sets. 5 sets. 1 dollar. BU. You getting this?

 

which ones am i missing to complete the set...? is the right question. That should have been my title.

 

How much would a complete set go for? At least seven cents. Probably not a lot more, at least for coins like those pictured.

Are you really posting a wide shot of dozens of cents and asking us to search them for you? That's a bold move, but I'm not sure how well it's going to work out...

 

A complete set of such coins pulled from circulation is generally going to be worth exactly what you paid for them.

 

How old are ya champ?

I'm doing a scientific study.

 

Here are better pictures sir.

 

A humble penny pincher who’se been collecting pennies since january this year at 35 years of age.

 

And the point is?

 

I still cannot figure out the difference between the small date and big date sir... do I need a magnifying lense to verify or is it seen by the naked lense of my phone?

 

No... the naked eye is perfectly sufficient.

Try this. It's really quite easy once it clicks....

My best advice is to look at the base of the '2' compared with the rim. In a small date, that '2' is about one 2-width away from the edge of the field. On the large date, the two is about half a 2-width away from the edge.

Just like "Books"' link shows.

 

Very helpful post.

You know, of course, despite my clever disguise of an avatar, I MUST BE Sith. The only question is - Am I the Master, or the protégé? Mwuhaha! You may never know.

 

Thank you. Will read on.

not building the scale but this takes care of all my big dates D and gives me room to choose the nicest one of the zinc and coppers small date. Now I am in need of a copper small date 1982 no mint mark, then I complete the set with 3 copper small date with a D, 2 zinc small date with a D, 3 Zinc small date no mint, zinc and copper Big Dates most of the pictures, and 0 copper small date no mint. Thank you. Salut!

 

Maybe this will help
