Wow. Amazing how strict they are in those places... So secretive!! That's very cool, though.. I'm pretty stoked--I need to weigh it, but I'm pretty sure I just found a 1982-d BRONZE penny!! I thought something felt different about the coin, and looke dit up and saw that (as I'm sure you know) 1982 was the transition year from copper to zinc, and some of each (except the 1982-d small date bronze) were printed. Dude on you tube said the 1982-d copper sold for tens of thousands of dollars; whereas the PCGS site says in red 67 it's only like $600! Any knowledge on this one? I might take some pics and do a post on it, too...

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.

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!!
