I have a 1982 penny weighing in at 2.5 g#699;rams. I don't think it's a small date, but my batting average is low..
Here is the picture of the date. That black shadow makes the numbers look a bit thicker. Am I wrong, again?
I can post pictures of the whole coin I needed.

P.S. my other 6 1982s weigh 3.05 - 3.11 grams

That's what I had thought. It looked slightly different that the other dates so I wanted to ask

Would be useful to see full, large and sharp pics of the obverse and reverse. It's customary to show both sides. Yes, that's a large date, but there might be something else interesting going on with the coin. Thanks.

yep, a large date zinc cent.

if if weighs 2.5 grams, it will be a zinc coin
if it weighs 3.11 grams, it will be a copper coin.
