Online Appraisal
D. I have a 1982 small date copper alloy Lincoln cent that weighs 3.12 g and to my knowledge would be only the second one known to exist in the world. I'm new at coin collecting so I'm not by far an expert at this but from what I've read it is very valuable and very rare and if it is I don't know what to do with it at this point so I'm looking for some guidance and some professional help with this coin if it is true that I hold on the second one to this so far thank you for your time

As per our tutorial: "All 1982 cents were made in abundance. Spend yours." I wish the wads suggesting otherwise would have to answer all such questions.
