wz1f Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 02/08/2012 9:08 pm I need help with these two 1982 cents. The 1982-P weight is 2.53G. and the 1982-D weight is 3.11G. Both look like small date to me. If so are they worth keeping. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

buffalojohn New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 02/08/2012 9:13 pm I think the D is a large date. The large date has both loops of the 8 same size and 2 is not curved. The small date has a little loop on the top of the 8 and a bigger loop on the bottom and the 2 is curvey coming down from the loop to the base.---HTH---John Edited by buffalojohn 02/08/2012 9:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/09/2012 05:54 am I think it was BadThade that said he was keeping all the SD he came across and that's when I started keeping them too. I now have three or four rolls of SD P's and D's. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
