Looks like a Small date. You can also see some difference in the top of the "8" between the two versions. Now if it copper and not copper over zinc, you might have a good find !

You can also tell by the gap of the tail of the 2 to the rim. Big gap = small date, small gap = large date.
and yes, your coin is a small date zinc coin.

As above, it's a small date, '82 D Memorial cent. An accurate weight--to two decimal places--will tell us much. |

Ok I finally got a hold of some digital scales and it weighs 3.11 I'm going to add two more pictures, I have both of these in my possession. Notice the difference between the two and the rim of the coin.and the suspected small date does weigh 3.11  |

I would suggest finding another scale, that coin is a copper coated zinc.

You can buy a scale for not much money. Get one that goes down to 0.001 grams. John1 |
