The 1982-D Zinc Small Date completes the three Denver varieties from the composition-change year. It combines the new zinc composition with the more delicate Small Date numeral style and the "D" mintmark. Some collectors report that the Small Date is slightly less common than the Large Date among Denver zinc issues, though both are readily available.
The complete seven-variety 1982 set consists of: Philadelphia Bronze Large Date, Philadelphia Bronze Small Date, Philadelphia Zinc Large Date, Philadelphia Zinc Small Date, Denver Bronze, Denver Zinc Large Date, and Denver Zinc Small Date. Assembling this set is one of the most popular collecting exercises in the Memorial cent series. The 1982-D Zinc Small Date, weighing 2.5 grams, is the final piece of that puzzle.
