coinchatter Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 05/28/2021 9:26 pm both coins are 1982 small date and no MS. One coin weighs 3.05 gram, the other coin weighs 3.09 grams. Are the grams rounded up? I hope I have them all downloaded correctly * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7063 Posts	Posted 05/28/2021 10:23 pm Both of your cents are the Large Date variety. Ideal weight is 3.11 for copper and 2.5 for zinc plated with copper. Edited by Greasy Fingers 05/28/2021 10:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coinchatter Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 05/29/2021 5:16 pm I can see that the first two pics are large dates but the last pic looks so much as small date. I used a ruler to be sure they were all even on the last pic. Now getting back to eight varieties of small date for 1982, I wasnt aware....thanks guys for responding!! Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1658 Posts	Posted 05/29/2021 5:21 pm Forget the ruler, look at the distance of the 2 from the rim, the shape of the 2 and the shape of the 8. Really easy to tell the difference. Report this Post to the Staff
