Theonedaddy1 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted Yesterday 3:33 pm So I have 2 1982 D pennies. They was handed down to me. They do weigh 3.11 each so they are solid bronze copper. If I remember correctly. So the 8 the top loop is smaller than the bottom loop. And the 2 curves just like a backwards s. So what do I do with them now? Auction or keep? If anyone has more information please... Here it is it has been in my family for a long time. My birth year in fact. * Edited by Staff to crop and/or rotate images.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21924 Posts	Posted Yesterday 4:03 pm Large Date. Do not go by the numbers, they can get damaged or distorted. Go by the distance of the 2 from the rim. If another number will fit in the space, then it is a Small Date. If it is close to the rim, then it is a Large Date Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 20057 Posts	Posted Today 18H 0M ago Here's what the small date looks like, notice how thin the devices are in the date? The large dates have "fat" dates. I found this stunning example (but zinc) searching rolls: Lincoln Cent Lover!

Vector Ze Pillar of the Community United States 656 Posts	Posted Today 11M ago I have struggled determining 1982 small from large. This is something I've never noticed before, and is now so obvious! Quote: JimmyD said: Go by the distance of the 2 from the rim. If another number will fit in the space, then it is a Small Date. If it is close to the rim, then it is a Large date Thanks for that tip, JimmyD. :^) Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21924 Posts	Posted Today 4M ago Your welcome Vector Ze To me it, is the quickest way and it doesn't matter if the numbers are damaged or not, they don't change their position on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
