Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 08/12/2021 12:22 am All of your 1982-D LMC's are Large dates. The one everyone looks for is the 1982-D Copper Small date which is extremely rare. Yours are unfortunately not small dates. I am sure someone will come along very soon with a very detailed explanation, with pictures, to show you the difference between a small and large date.

kenny24 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/12/2021 12:29 am Thanks. I was kinda stumped by the 8's. how the top one is smaller than lower one. the 2 looks it could go either way but thanks. I needed to know or I would still wonder. Report this Post to the Staff
Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 08/12/2021 12:38 am Don't worry about the 8..... pay more attention to the 2. Once you learn the difference between a large date and small date 2 you won't even give it a second thought. Report this Post to the Staff
Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 08/12/2021 12:39 am Sorry... that link did not work. I deleted it. Just simply Google 1982 large date vs.small date Lincoln Cent and you will get plenty of information. Edited by Bumpkin 08/12/2021 12:44 am Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97307 Posts	Posted 08/12/2021 09:33 am I would like to see a much better picture of that first coin, closer, better lighting, I'm thinking that it may be a small date. the 2 does 'appear' to have that 'swoop' to the lower part - plus the gap from the tail of the 2 to the rim seems to be larger than the others.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/12/2021 4:14 pm The space between the 2 and the rim are the big areas to look at: Looking at the '2' upside down will also show you something different about them: If it looks like a '7' then it is a large date.

Pineapple New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 08/12/2021 5:40 pm I do think the first maybe small date due to the size. I am not experienced in this I am just using what I see others saying and I do see the larger spacing but it is hard to tell. It defiantely looks like more spacing than the others. Good luck!

Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 877 Posts	Posted 08/12/2021 6:03 pm The first image is a small date. I see the bend from horizontal to vertical. Sharp bend as opposed to large date which is nearly diagonal. IMO. SEE. Report this Post to the Staff
