What does a rare 1982 penny look like?
I've got a jar of 1982 Lincoln cents. Can someone point me to a page
that makes the different versions clear? So far none I've seen have helped. Thanks. -- Al Dykes News is something someone wants to suppress, everything else is advertising. - Lord Northcliffe, publisher of the Daily Mail |

Al, You can see the differences in the dates by going to http://www.coinpeople.com/1982-Cent-Fun-t7417.html There are a total of seven different varieties: 1982 Large Date Bronze 1982 Small Date Bronze 1982-D Large Date Bronze 1982 Large Date Zinc 1982 Small Date Zinc 1982-D Large Date Zinc 1982-D Small Date Zinc The only thing you won't be able to tell by looking is whether the coin is copper or bronze. For that, you'd have to check the weight. take care, Scott |
