I'll have to go buy a dope scale and weigh it. What's the significance of 3.1g?

If it weighs approximately 3.1 grams, it is likely a copper planchet. I believe there has only been one copper 82D small date found. It would be worth thousands of dollars. I would gladly give you your original asking price at that time.

For humors sake, I did a test and it appears the large date is heavier. No diamond in the rough here! Still up for bid @ $0.02! HAHA

So, is this a large date or small date? It has some damage to the edge, makes it hard for me to tell.  |

It weighs 3.1, so it's likely not small.

Better photo of penny in question. Has rim damage and the 2 looks strange IMO. Thoughts?  |

I thought so. The '2' threw me off. It looks small to me. Thank you!
