The 1982 D Small Date Memorial Cent worth
The 1982 D Small Date Memorial Cent is only worth one cent unless struck on a copper (bronze) blank that weighs at least 3. 0 grams. Only two were found struck on a 3. 07 blank, so they are extremely rare, with the first find selling for 18, 000. The 1982 Lincoln Cents are the most confusing date in the Lincoln Cent series because there are 7 different types, 8 different if you include the small date on a bronze blank. And they are as follows: large date and small date, with a mint mark D for the Denver Mint and no mint mark for the Philadelphia Mint and the West Point Mint, and half were struck on zinc plates copper plated which weigh 2. 5 grams and the other half on copper board of 3. 11 grams. However, a mistake was made, the small date 1982 D was supposed to be struck on copper plated zinc planchettes which weigh 2. 5 grams, but two were found on the copper planchettes which weigh over 3. 07 grams. So how do you know if it s a small date One way is to hold them side by side and compare them,
