Then let me break this to you as gently as I can. There were 10,712,525,000 of these 1982 cents minted. If you were to count to that number at a speed of one number a second it would take you just under 343 years. Your cent can count on $1 to $2 from someone who really really needed it, but that’s it, I’m sorry. It’s just a pretty coin among the millions of others out there in that grade.
