Dearborn Moderator United States 96112 Posts	Posted 04/22/2021 3:03 pm looking at this incredible specimen I would have to say it is a large date coin judging by the '8' and how close the tail of the 2 is to the rim. I think that the 'curved neck' of the 2 was caused by all the damage and the metal was pushed over. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 04/22/2021 4:49 pm Me I see the coin is copper. So 1982-D copper was only large date. The small date is find in copper plated zinc coins minted in the same year. But do not matter, I thing will be hard to spend this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 04/22/2021 5:11 pm Definitely large date, the damage just distorted the 2. The distance of the 2 from the rim definitely doesn't lie! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96112 Posts	Posted 04/22/2021 5:19 pm Actually, the 1982-D small date was minted in both copper and zinc. But the 1982-S SD is very rare: https://www.numismaticnews.net/worl...copper-found The image below shows the much more common and easily found 1982 varieties. Collecting since 1972.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 04/22/2021 7:01 pm Large date. Difficult to ascertain from the 2 but the 8 definitely looks to be a large date. Spend it if you can and keep searching! Report this Post to the Staff
