Lincoln Memorial 1982 Varieties and PCGS numbers

Hi All,
I'm a bit confused here. I understand there are 7 1982 varieties between the bronze and zinc types. My confusion is the PCGS price guide listing numbers. Like what is the difference between PCGS# 3050 and 146033? And 3047 and 146017?
Thanks

Before PCGS attributed the 7 CPG varieties for the 1982's, they had generic slabs that I believe only attributed small and large dates and not even the metal composition.

WaterSport,
I have some bronze large and small dates I want to submit (hopefully some 67's!) but want to make sure I've got the right PCGS numbers on my order. Ya, if you look at the price guide listing it lists the 7 varieties plus 3047 and 3050. I'm still searching for that 82-D Bronze small date! I keep weighing the 83, 83-D, 89-D, and 90-D looking for one of those in bronze as well since a few have been found.
Thanks, DV

Cool.
As above.
Here is what I am talking about. PCGS -before the CPG- just graded the coins with no attribution. So if you buy this coin, which is cheaper than grading and attribution, you will get an 82 of some sort.

WaterSport,
That's good info to know. I didn't realize that. What I also just found was under "Resources" and "PCGS Number Lookup" it appears that when you submit a 1982 its either submitted under 3047 if it's a 1982 or 3050 if it's a 1982-D. Then PCGS assigns the proper number and Zinc or Copper, Large or Small Date designations. (If I'm reading that correctly). It says certain coin numbers are omitted to avoid mis-identification. So that makes sense and hence why there is 9 total numbers for the 7 varieties.
And what the heck is the PCGS "You Suck" Award? Got a chuckle out of that when I read it.
