BadThad, I thought the 1982 was a small date because of the top of the 8 is smaller than the bottom. And what by looking at the coin can tell you its zinc? I thought the only way was to weigh them? I am new to looking closely at coins so I am just asking for my own knowledge, I have a few small dates and would like to know what I am doing...lol...I have weighed them and found 2.6 grams are the zinc and 3.2 grams were copper so I need to know if the dates are small or large... thanks!

Looks like a large date, sorry --- The large date "2" has a thick, fat base with no
curve. The small date "2" has a delicate base with a slow curve at it's base.

Look at the larger pics uploaded by Tatt2ed13, the 2 is as you described for the small date 2.

I did look at the enlarged pic and it looks identical to the large date "2", you don't need an expert for this one, sorry, I believe its time to move on to the next coin.
