Both seem to be large date Philadelphia 82 Lincoln memorial cents one on the left weighs 2.5g the other weighs 3.0g. what is the significance and why is the 2.5 not marked with the small date like the D MINTS of that year? Thanks

the 3 gram ones is copper, and the 2.5 gram one is zinc. they did make 1982 P LGDT cents out of both zinc and copper, what was it made out of has no connection with it's mint mark or the date size.
