<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bettann, post: 2952799, member: 91430&quot;]For the past ten years I&#039;ve kept every 82 Lincoln because I thought that it was the last year that the mint used copper. According to several coin sites brass is listed but not copper but brass is the same as copper? maybe just a bit different in composition? I have several 82 coins that weigh 3.1 grams, so they had to still be using copper in 82. I found one small date copper 82 in my stored coins that weighs 3.1 grams. But still there&#039;s a lot of copper from that year.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is from coinweek. <a href="https://coinweek.com/education/coin-analyst-1982-lincoln-cent-provides-collectors-challenges-rewards/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinweek.com/education/coin-analyst-1982-lincoln-cent-provides-collectors-challenges-rewards/" rel="nofollow">https://coinweek.com/education/coin-analyst-1982-lincoln-cent-provides-collectors-challenges-rewards/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul> <li>1982 brass large date</li> <li>1982 brass small date</li> <li>1982 zinc large date</li> <li>1982 zinc small date</li> <li>1982-D brass large date</li> <li>1982-D zinc large date</li> <li>1982-D zinc small date</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just a little confused as I&#039;ve never found an 83 copper, but I have several 82&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone have a link or a website that goes into the 82 alloys and types of errors to look for?</p><p><br /></p><p>One person on Ebay has an 82 small date copper listed for $2,500, but there are others that seem similar listed for far less. From what I&#039;m reading that&#039;s a crazy price....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
