@heribase: The 1982-D Small Date Lincoln Cent is one of the most famous modern Lincoln cent varieties—and the key is not just the date. It’s the combination of the Small Date design, the “D” mint mark, and the coin’s weight. 🔎 How to check yours: • Look closely at “1982” — on the Small Date, the date numerals are smaller and differently positioned than the Large Date. • Pay special attention to the “2”: the Small Date has a distinctive curved/arched descender. • Check the “D” under the date for the Denver Mint. • Most importantly, weigh the coin. A genuine bronze 1982-D Small Date should weigh about 3.11 grams. Zinc cents weigh about 2.5 grams. 💵 And the auction history is REAL: an NGC AU58BN 1982-D Bronze Small Date sold for $10,800 at Heritage Auctions in April 2019. That doesn't mean every 3.11g 1982-D is worth thousands—authentication, composition, variety attribution, and condition are critical. But if your coin checks all the boxes, it deserves a much closer look. 📱 Use HeriBase to scan your coin and research its variety, specifications, and estimated value.
