Conder101 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I'm still skeptical, (I am VERY skeptical of the claim they have two of them) but encouraged. If the new pictures pan out then the next step will be for them to invest the money into having it slabbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that there have been at least two 1982D small dates discovered. I think the last one sold for about $18,800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l.cutler Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 All of these are large dates. I always look at the shape of the 2 and the distance of the 2 from the rim. Pretty easy to differentiate that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) As per the photos I posted earlier on how to tell the difference between Small and Large Dates, they are all Large Dates.

Rdietrick Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Can someone clarify for me the weights? All 1982 pennies are either 3.1g or 2.5g. What is the significance of the 3.07 weight of the 2 that have been verified? Also is it only D mint mark?

It is the copper 1982D Small Date that is the valuable coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the 1982small date copper without the d I've read can be worth $1,000 but the small date 1982 d copper is known for going for around $18,800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1982 small date copper with no mint mark is typically a 30 cent coin, in MS65 condition, not $1000. If you were to find the 1982-D small date copper, it would likely be a six-figure coin. Only 2 are known so far. I have literally a STACK of 1982 7 coin Lincoln cent sets, all in BU condition, that I got for less than a dollar each. They only are missing the "impossible" coin. You're more likely be hit by a solid gold meteorite. Edited September 25, 2020 by VKurtB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very old thread with the op long gone. The post you quoted was with the old inaccurate scale they had which was reading about 0.5g over. So that 1982-D SD cent likely had an actual weight around 2.5g consistent with copper plated zinc, which is not the super rare one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought maybe op hadn’t forgotten how to read in the past 3 years or so. However, I do appreciate such a studious and thought provoking response to my statement intended for a completely different person other than yourself. In a world full of hate and ill intent I choose to offer words of encouragement anytime that I can. I see that kind of malice isn’t tolerated in this chat that you obviously own. I’ll see myself out the door, thanks for being so welcoming of a new person to your forum. Good evening and salutations…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my forum, it's NGC's. As far as I'm concerned you are welcome to stick around. I have found it's a good and pretty tolerating grading company, with an open and informative forum that NGC takes more of a hands-off approach to and allows members of the forum to offer honest opinions concerning grading coins.
