I was going through a jar or 1982s tonight and had forgotten how pretty some of them were! I think last time I looked at these was quite a while ago and I was only looking for a possible small date copper and nothing else. This one looks pretty great though!
Not sure I don’t have a scale. 3.11g would make it a copper right? Is that rare on an 82-D small date? I thought only on a 82 philly small date?
The 1982 D Small Date Memorial Cent is only worth one cent unless it is struck on a copper (bronze) planchet that weighs at least 3.0 grams. Only two have been found struck on a 3.07 planchet, so they’re extremely rare, one sold for over $10,000 and the first discovery sold for $18,000.
That looks like a Copper Plated zinc planchet.. That isn't the rare copper variety. No need to weigh it. But you should own a gram scale anyway.
