What drives this coin's value

Condition/Grade is the primary factor, as mintages for this year are quite high. Scarcity exists only in Top Pop graded specimens.

Grade assessment

Very Fine (VF) - Visible circulation wear on the hair details and eagle's breast feathers, but all legends are clear.

Mintage & rarity

Total mintage for 1982-D was approximately 11,811,000. It is a common date coin.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for magnetic properties (the nickel core should be attracted to a magnet) and verify the edge lettering. Counterfeits are rare for this specific common date.
