Hmm , That to me looks like a Wide AM .. But since I personally have not picked any up yet hopefully a seasoned collector could chime in for you . Nice find if it turns out to be a true WAM .!! Best of Luck / Phil \m/ |

That is a real nice 1998 WAM but the members here like different coins on separate posts. |

No ... we are not going to put up with re-posting photos in multiple threads for multiple opinions. No reason to re-post your 1998 LMC in this thread.  It gets everyone confused ... I answered the question on the 1998 WAM in it's own thread ... and this 1982 LMC is a MAD despite what the OP wants to think. Note to staff to follow ... note to new valued poster is keep the topics separate and let folks reply as they see fit. David |

It is a MAD strike, not double struck, but it may also be affected by a bit of die attrition. Either way, it does not add any value. |

It appears to be of Zinc composition... (just looking at the bumps) I personally wouldn't keep it.

You're 82 is a large date zinc with a MAD strike.

BadThad, I thought the 1982 was a small date because of the top of the 8 is smaller than the bottom. And what by looking at the coin can tell you its zinc? I thought the only way was to weigh them? I am new to looking closely at coins so I am just asking for my own knowledge, I have a few small dates and would like to know what I am doing...lol...I have weighed them and found 2.6 grams are the zinc and 3.2 grams were copper so I need to know if the dates are small or large... thanks!

yup, and by what I saw on there this is a small date, but my eyes are not the best lol. looking at the pics on here it also looks like the 2 is also correct for the small date.

Looks like a large date, sorry --- The large date "2" has a thick, fat base with no
curve. The small date "2" has a delicate base with a slow curve at it's base.

Look at the larger pics uploaded by Tatt2ed13, the 2 is as you described for the small date 2.

I did look at the enlarged pic and it looks identical to the large date "2", you don't need an expert for this one, sorry, I believe its time to move on to the next coin.
