Product Information
Based in part on one of the longest-used designs in the history of the U.S. mint, this U.S. penny bears the Lincoln Memorial as etched by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro on the reverse and a bust of Lincoln as designed by Victor David Brenner (and chosen by U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt) on the obverse of this copper-blend coin. A U.S. penny struck in this year was constructed of either a 95 percent copper core or a 99.2 percent zinc core. A distinguishing characteristic between these two versions of the 1982 one-cent piece is weight, as the zinc versions of this copper-blend coin weigh 0.09 oz (2.5 g), while copper-core versions of this U.S. penny weigh 0.11 (3.11 g). A circulation strike of 6,012,979,368 units of this 1982 one-cent piece was run at the Denver Mint in Colorado.Product Key Features
