Interesting topic. Coin Week has an article about them online at http://www.coinweek.com/education/coin-analyst-1982-lincoln-cent-provides-collectors-challenges-rewards
Here's a quote from that article: The metallic composition and obverse master hub changes ultimately led to the creation of seven different types of 1982 business-strike Lincoln cents, including:
1982 brass large date
1982 brass small date
1982 zinc large date
1982 zinc small date
1982-D brass large date
1982-D zinc large date
1982-D zinc small date
Add in the 1982-S proof Lincoln cent, which was struck in brass and boasts a large date motif, and the coin collector has eight basic 1982 Lincoln cents to chase after."

It can be done from circulation but it will take some time. Good luck.
