<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GSDykes, post: 3970196, member: 73321&quot;]One more time (lost my text, could not edit, restart machine, and I&#039;m back).</p><p>Below is a 1982 cent, zinc, small date. It came from a card I bought years ago with all 8 1982 combinations on it. As you know 1982 was an interesting year for cents, they got further debased, became copper coated zinc, instead of solid bronze. In 1982 both alloys were minted. The small date, zinc is the more valuable. Mega Red shows it as MS 66 - $45.00, a nice retail valuation. At MS 67 it is $200.00. They can still be found in original bank rolls (OBW). A lesson here, when odd or unique items are minted for circulation coinage, grab some and hold on to them, for example the 2017 P cent, or the 2019 W cents.</p><p>Below is my nice red 1982: below it is a Heritage Auction sample (note its poor pale color), and below that - samples from EBAY, note the OBW offered, wherein one may find a gem!! I would grade my coin at MS66+, or even MS67. it is a bit soft on the reverse.</p><p>Gary in Washington</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1044648[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1044653[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1044666[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
