It is the same as your previous three so it would be a Large Date.
Use the Search Forum on the side bar to show you how to distinguish the two.
This is probably the most asked question on any coin forum
so there are many references there to help you.

I had trouble with these until I found a 1982-D small date zinc. Then it becomes very obvious which is which. Keep on keeping on, you never know!

Yet one never knows. The 82's are by far are the most tedious cents to discern. Large,small, P or D, zinc/copper. From my experience, a scale calibrated to 1/1000 g is essential. It will address one variable quite quickly. As a suggestion, consider purchasing an uncirculted set of all seven varieties which is reasonably priced. You will soon be able to determine the the differences immediately. As other members have mentioned in the past, you eventually won't even need a scale any more sophisticated as your hand. I find 82's pretty easy compared to me trying to determine small or large 1960 LMC, small or large 1970 LMC, clear S or filled S (one of which I am grappling with still, as I never received much feedback on that one from the group. References are your best friend. Most of your questions should be requested on this forum only after you have exhausted the references provided by the knowledgeable people that respond here. Be assured, I am not one of them. Yet those whom are more learned than myself here have led me on the path to answer more questions for myself than to depend on the opinion of others. That 81 clear S still has me hanging though. That all, just keep on keepin' on. |

In addition, images and photos are quite beneficial and educational, but nothing compares to holding it yourself. That is only my opinion.
