I’m going to go out on a limb on this one and say just about one cent.

Damaged, but still worth one cent!

I would say 2 cents, because it's copper.

Keep searching....
I too keep interesting post mint damage coins..., I’d probably keep this one, just for poops and snickers.
Value one cent, but not worthy of a plastic wrapper.

Not necessarily.....

For pennies dated 1982, when both copper and zinc cents were made, the safest and best way to determine their composition is to weigh them. Solid copper pennies weigh 3.11 grams (+/- 0.130 g.), whereas the copper plated zinc pennies weigh only 2.5 grams (+/- 0.100 g.).
