1982 Cent Patterns

About This Coin
The 1982 Cent Patterns hold the Martha Washington cent-size trial on a copper-plated zinc planchet, J-2180. USPatterns.com thinks it likely that some were struck outside the Mint by vendors who had the test dies, and places it in 1982 because the copper-plated zinc cent began that year.
