[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 2963458, member: 78298"]Reality is negative or positive. Don't be blind to the sheer numbers that makes this search fruitless. One more may turn up one day. But it's not going to be you or I who finds it. It's like that drunk in a liquor store in Gary, Indiana who buys a Powerball ticket 30 seconds before the machines lock, and wins. I did read that the guy who found the 1st one, was actively searching for it. He felt that a transitional year would be the time to look for a wrong metal error. If a regular amount of copper planchets accidentally were minted, then there would be dozens of these things. And besides the 1982-D SD, there are a few more (all Denver I think) 1 or 2 from the mid and late 80's and one from the 90's. But as has been mentioned here before, if a stray copper planchet was found by a cleaning crew (stuck in a weird part of a machine). You can't take anything out of the mint, so it could have just been tossed into a giant bin of zinc planchets. There may not be any more.[/QUOTE]
