1982 small date? Help!!

[Guest]

Hello everyone! I am new to coin collecting so I was wondering if this 1982 small date is worth anything? Thank you for your help!

Welcome to the forum. Looks like you're hooked on Lincoln's.

They are pretty common in that condition.
Do you know if it is plated or a solid copper? Plated = 2.5 g (grams) Copper = 3.1 g (grams)

I just weighed it and it was 2.5 grams. Which of the 1982 is more desirable?

If you find an 82 D small date that weighs 3.1, then you have something.

Unfortunately yours is worth one cent.

Even though it's only worth a cent, if you try filling a folder with the 7 normal types the 82-P SD zinc is probably the hardest one to find in your change.

Here is some info on the 82s http://www.lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1982.html If you found an 82 in MS condition, regardless of MM, it would be worth more than 1 cent!!!

Hello DOGMOM, does this mean you have a fur baby or two?

Here's one thing that was not mentioned yet (I don't think)... there is a very nice 82P small date zinc doubled die reverse which would be an terrific one to find in any condition! Here is the link https://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...&die_state=mds

Also, I keep all 82 small dates that are in good condition because I read somewhere where they are getting harder to find in nice shape!
