1982 D/P Cu/Zn Large/Small dates

[1more4me]

Over time I've collected up a few ziplock bags of each of the Varieties of the 82 cent. So the other day, I decided to pull he best couple of each and set them aside as groups.
Wasn't long before I realized I have very FEW really good examples of two of the varieties- In fact, I only had 20 each of the D-Zn-Large and the P-CU-Small and they were horrible- but more than too many of all the other varieties...
In doing the sort- I made a little grid on paper- that some of you might find useful. Can weigh quickly into ZN and Copper groups then sort those into which ever quad.

Side note- seems with such a large number of varieties- there bound to be one D-Cu-Small out there for me to find- of course only one- and me to find it. That would be one valuable cent!

If anyone comes across a couple BU of the D-Zn-Large and the P-CU-Small <--- I'd at the least for a stamp!
PEACE

It's interesting that I'm doing the same thing myself! I'm still in the dividing stage.....separating the zinc from the copper. From there I'm going to divide them according to mint and LD and SD. I was mostly curious as to the percentages of each that were minted and what has survived until now. I'll let you know what I find when I'm done. I still have lots to go through so it might take a while. Over the future years, there will be a lot fewer zinc ones due to the fact they will dissolve in salt water and high acidic conditions and become unreadable. It's amazing that the mint is allowed to produce that kind of crap.
