The 1982-D Zinc Large Date is one of two Denver zinc varieties from the transition year. After Denver's bronze production ended mid-year, the facility struck the remainder of its 1982 cents on the new copper-plated zinc planchets. The Large Date version features the bolder, thicker numeral style and carries the "D" mintmark.
At 2.5 grams, it weighs noticeably less than the 1982-D Bronze. Combined Denver mintage for 1982 exceeded 6 billion across all varieties. The Zinc Large Date is common and accessible. Collectors assembling the seven-variety 1982 set include it alongside its Small Date counterpart and the sole Denver bronze issue.
