Where are all the 1982 P cents?

[legend]

Snowman, you are AMAZING!

At one point I lost track of the sheet I was keeping on mintages, and although I don't have the sheet, the 82-90 zinc cents all stayed in my grey matter as tough. It is really cool that you have these spreadsheet stats to compare and contrast, and thanks so very much for sharing it with us.

oh, yeah i know they are all large date, I just didn't expect to find a proof since I hardly ever see an "S" mint here. The "P" mints are hard enough.

DJ - Your lucky to live where you have an abundace of D mints to look for RPMs. Joe

[D.J.]

Yeah that is nice, I guess grass is always greener on the other side. I'm sure if i didn't get a lot of D mints I would miss them too.

Since doubled dies are generally worth more than RPMs, I would rather have the P mint coins. I live in the D mint district which cuts me down to about 10% P mint coins.

[Jonathan]

Actually i'm very mad i live in a place where the D's are abundant. I'd rather have P's. I already have collected 5 rolls of 2008 D's.............but i havn't seen ONE SINGLE 2008 Plain. And that was a Year ago!!!!!

P and D Box exchanges.

Jonathan. I live where there are abundant P mint coins. I would love to get 50.00 dollar unsearched bags of Cents, you know, the big plastic bags that the banks seal and send back to the fed. Moreover, if you get 2009 D mint rolls, and especially if you get a sealed box, I will trade straight up for a box of 2009 P Log Cabin, or any of the other three releases. I have an unopened box of 2008 I would break open to get other D rolls from you, and any P roll I will trade for any D roll, Strings and Sons, OBW or those pretty clear plastic rolls. I would only say don't give me anything from any EBAY reseller, as their stuff sometimes has four coins or more in the middle which show clear signs the cent was at one time an end coin and subjected to that sealing machine sealing device. All my rolls are from dealers, one in New York (I bought all his rolls four years ago) and a local dealer whose main interest is gold coins. Most of my bulk is in 25 dollar sealed blocks.

[Jonathan]

Thanks for the offer. I'll think it over and let you know, Ok?

Also, are you looking for any grade circulated or UNC only?

1982 sm dt zinc cheap

Funny thing, yesterday I hopped on the net to EBAY, and dude has four 82 OBW Zinc Sm Dt... for ten dollars BIN. Couldn't type fast enough. Four rolls.
Ten dollars. Times are tough.

What are you goin to do with 4 rolls of searched cents?

[legend]

OBW Rolls

These are OBW, from a bank brick. I was lucky to win that auction, for sure. But I won't count my chickens till I see these. Never do.

[kloccwork419]

I dont believe anything is unsearched on eBay. THey can easily be opened and re-crimped.

Go to the "Resource" homepage and click on the one that says large, small dates, has pics of all of them.

The small date has a "curve" to the middle of the 2, and if it's a large date it will run straight through. You would not be able to tell if it is zinc cent or a copper, so what i do is weigh them with my own homemade "lego" coin holder and see what happens. It's like a teeter-totter, if the coin is copper one end will sink and fall into the bucket........if the coin is zinc it will balance the weight out and the teeter-totter will just stay still. I have pictures if your interested.
