I am thinking it isn't but I don't know enough about these to be sure and a friend thinks it is. Thanks for any help.

    Looks like a business strike coin to me.

    The color looks unnatural to me - I don't think it would grade.

    Thanks again everyone for all the help. The photos have a lot more of a yellowish tint to them than the coin really has. In hand the color looks pretty consistent with the 3 others I have been able to compare it to but like I said I am no kind of expert on these.

    From the images,I can't tell about the color being off or not. The images,however, do show clearly that the 1882 cent is a business strike.

    Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the
    birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will
    precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you
    come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you
    who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in
    poverty and it is you who are that poverty."--- Gospel of Thomas (Lamdin translation)

    Hi,

    This coin looks pretty unnatural to me as well. And is it actually Mint State?

    Best,
    Eric
