1982-D Lincoln Head Cent, Large Date, Zinc

Did you know the U.S. Mint produced seven different Lincoln cents for circulation in 1982? Rising production costs made it necessary to switch to a copper-plated zinc alloy partway through the year. And with both large and small date varieties coming out of the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, coinage history was made! This zinc alloy large date variety from Denver makes an exciting addition to your collection.
