Does anyone have the mintage figures of the 1982 cents broken down as to the 7 diff. ones that came out not counting the S- mint.
In my postings here I always post the number of 1982 zincs as well as the copper. There are a lot less zincs than coppers and I also noticed I'm finds more wheats than 1982 zincs. So after seeing this I was just wondering what the break down was. I know there were 10.7 billion 1982 and 6 billion 82d but is there a break down as to copper vs. zinc, large date vs. small, Philly vs. Denver. I'm just curious.

I've never seen a breakdown of the 1982s. It's sort of like how many 1960/1960-D Small date pennies were made. The mintage figures quoted always say the variety was included in the total mintage figure.

I was just curious because of my stats. For example so far this month.
Copper 82's = 444 and there are 3 varieties 1982 large and small date, 1982 D
Zinc 82's = 107 and there are 4 varieties 1982 large and small date, 1982D small and large date
Wheats = 135

So it looks like I'm averaging about 24% of the 82 are zinc compared to copper 82's. We're still talking in the billions.

The first bag was a real bonanza of wheats, with a bunch of mint marked teens & twenties. Most fun I had sorting in a while.

Does anyone else make note of the # stamped on String boxes? This box was XXX2, normally it's 3063 or 4070 for me (30%+). Just wondering if there is any correlation between # and %. Also I listed my 82 zn for appjoe, if you want me to continue to, let me know.
