    In this video, I'll talk about 5 pennies that were supposed to have been minted on zinc planchets but have been found minted on copper planchets. Be sure to weigh these pennies and Happy Hunting!

      Is a 1982 small date no mint mark on a 3.1copper worth anything

    • @w.thompson9188
      @w.thompson9188 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Rob, Should 1982 pennies with no mint mark weigh 3.11 or 2.5 grams? I have both weights. Which weight is most valuable? Thanks for the reply.

    Also on the 82 sm or large date I find it easier to look at the top of the 8. It's smaller on small date than the 8 on the large date.

  • @alan30189
    @alan30189 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I had a hard time seeing the difference in those dates on those four coins, other than the fact that the ones on the right we’re a little bit thicker. Both seem to have the same curves. The difference could be just in the press itself. How much do the pennies with later dates, on copper planchettes, sell for? That would’ve been interesting to know, and is it really worth your time and trouble?

  • @rightisright100

    Thanks for the video, Rob. I knew about the 82-D SM DT and the 83's but I did not know about the 89-D and 90-D. The Red Book is a little confusing when it comes to mintages for all 1982's combined. As far as I can tell, they minted almost 17 billion pennies in 1982, all small and large P&D. Would you concur with that? I know hardly a roll passes through my hands that I don't find a 1982...lol BTW...I found a 1998 WAM the other day. I'm going through $25 worth of customer wrapped rolls this morning, it's all I could find today. I just had two of the best boxes I've had in a while. Got almost a whole tube of wheat cents mostly 40's and 50's but I did find a 1928 and a 1907 Indian Head along with a 1952-2002 Canadian and four 1974-S's.

  • @Car1Sagan
    @Car1Sagan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I didn't know about the 89D and 90D to look for copper, but you forgot 82 philly small date, should be zinc, but some were found in copper and also are big bucks.

    • @RobFindsTreasure
      @RobFindsTreasure  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      True - I didn't mention that particular cent. I know about it but here's my thoughts. UNLESS, it is found in MS65 or better, it is not even worth grading. Valued under $30. That being said, we should still look for it. Unfortunately, the 1982 Penny without a mint mark could have been struck at Philadelphia, San Francisco or West Point since none of those mints put mint marks on the coins that year... I was focusing mainly on pennies that would fetch a BIG price. Either way, I probably should have spoke about it in the video - great reminder and great catch!

    • @wildcard13294
      @wildcard13294 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I found a 1982 P small date that's copper. I even weighed it. I always thought large date P, large date D, and small date P were copper or zinc while small date D was supposed to be zinc but there are copper errors. I never actually knew small date Ps were supposed to be all zinc. so my copper 1982 P small date is an error coin? or is it not?

    Well, I found an 82 D in my father's collection. Now I know why. It weighs 3 grams and a small mint from what I can see but it bright and not dark. Does that make a difference when it comes to color?

    • @McCracken0401
      @McCracken0401 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Just wondering because I have a few 1982 small dates one weight 3.1g and the others weight 2.5g.

    • @RobFindsTreasure
      @RobFindsTreasure  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There are 1982 small dates without mint mark weighing 3.1g. However, unless it is found in MS65 or better, it is not even worth grading. Valued under $30. That being said, we should still look for it. Unfortunately, the 1982 Penny without a mint mark could have been struck at Philadelphia, San Francisco or West Point since none of those mints put mint marks on the coins that year... If you have an awesome coin that is a 1982 Small Date weighing 3.1g, get it looked at for sure.

    • @wildcard13294
      @wildcard13294 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      wait.... San Fransisco minted pennies for circulation after 1974? I always thought that after 1974 San Fransisco only did proofs. Did they just remove the S? interesting. I never knew that.

  • @Car1Sagan
    @Car1Sagan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Rob, what about in the other direction? That is are there any cents meant to be copper, but stamped on zinc planchets? For example, are there any 82 large dates (P or D), or other dates, meant to be copper, come from zinc planchets? Any errors or varieties to look for on San Fran (I guess proof) cents?

    • @wildcard13294
      @wildcard13294 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      well 1982 large date Ps and Ds were minted on copper planchets early in the year and zinc planchets later in the year. Don't know about 1982 P small dates. 1982 D small dates are supposed to be all zinc but some copper coins were made anyways.

      They’d have to be significantly different in weight. There can be a variance as allowed by the Mint, but no modern cents should weigh north if 2.7g

      There are many to check for varieties Nick. I would say the top ones to "keep" are the ones you mentioned and only the steel cents, foreigns, and of course IHP's and earlier. BUT - check for the varieties - get a cherry picker's guide to see all that there are.

    I would look at Pennie’s that look like copper but the date wasn’t right… definitely going to start weighing them up
