yeah def weigh that thing.
PCGS doesn't seem to have the 82-D Bronze SMALL DATE listed (yet). They DO have a generic 1982-D Brown and Red listed in the Bronze section... yet they also list 1982-D labeled "BRONZE" in Brown/Red additionally in the same section. Perhaps one is Small and one is Large Date but they failed to add that distinction?
As why the price would be only $600? It's prob referring to the Large Date. Need to research this a bit...
Actually... From what I just heard (on youtube) there is no 1982-d small bronze version--Denver only did the Copper/bronze versions in large date... So I think that would explain it.
at least one was found a just two years ago:
http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/rare-1982-d-small-date-copper-found
So apparently '82-D small date bronze cents DO exist!
That scale thing on there is awesome lol. I can't read it though! SOmething is screwy with the webpage. I
ll figure something out... but yeah--like I said, I heard there was no "small date" 1982-D BRONZE (copper) penny... Which would make sense, because the one I have that I think is copper is Large date!!
