1982-D Lincoln Memorial Copper Penny Uncirculated Large Date

This 1982-D Lincoln Memorial copper penny is presented in uncirculated condition, featuring a sharp strike and original mint luster. 1982 was a pivotal transitional year for the United States Mint, marking the shift from 95% copper planchets to copper-plated zinc. This specific Denver-minted specimen is the copper variety, distinguished by its weight and the large date font style. The obverse displays a crisp portrait of Abraham Lincoln, while the reverse features the classic Memorial design. As a key variety from a historic transitional year, this uncirculated copper cent is a must-have for Lincoln cent specialists and collectors of modern mint errors and variations.

1982-D Lincoln Memorial Copper Penny Uncirculated Large Date

Condition: This item is in uncirculated condition, exhibiting original mint luster with minimal surface marks or abrasions. The strike is sharp, typical of business-strike coinage from the Denver Mint. Struck in a copper alloy (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc), this coin represents a significant historical transition year for the United States Mint. In 1982, the composition of the Lincoln cent was changed mid-year from copper to copper-plated zinc to reduce production costs. This specific specimen features the "Large Date" variety, identifiable by the size and positioning of the numerals in the date. As an uncirculated business strike, it maintains the rich reddish-orange hue characteristic of preserved copper coinage from this era. No professional grading has been assigned to this specific piece.
