I'm somewhat sure it's a small date too but every time I look at examples of the small date it looks similar and different. Also, on the reverse, by the "I" in UNITED there is something I'm unsure of. I think it could be doubling only because at different angles it looks as though you can see what looks like maybe the coin spun in the hub between strikes. Also on the right side of the memorial above the roof it looks like you can see a soft outline of Lincoln's hair from the front... Tell me what you think. Report this Post to the Staff

Dmil070182 New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 12:19 pm So is the 1982 copper cent worth keeping? I'm still so new to numismatics they I haven't even purchased a new macro camera or even my first coin rolls or bags. Should I just pass it on, sell it as is? I just don't know.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 3:44 pm They are common. It is a large date. The location of the '2' shows it is the large date. Also on the large date, the bottom part of the '2' when viewed upside down: Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 4:04 pm I agree, a common large date. It's the small date Denver mint copper that is the super rare one and worth a small fortune. Keep looking! Report this Post to the Staff
