elliottite Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 04/26/2022 01:51 am Hello, here I have a 1982 D Lincoln Cent that I am unable to tell if it is the large or small date. I'm hoping very confidently that a more seasoned member may be able to determine. Thank you, everyone. Your knowledge is very appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Finding a 1982 D copper small date is like finding I tiny gold flake On a 100mile stretch of beach while sifting through the sand with a kids toy sifter lol. Report this Post to the Staff

elliottite Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 04/26/2022 04:41 am Many Thanks John1. I will definitely check it out. I was leaning more towards it being a LD also, but just not seasoned enough to know for sure, Thank you again. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/26/2022 11:48 am The shape of the '2' upside down on the large dates makes a '7' appear: Also the location of the '2' is different on the large/small dates: Report this Post to the Staff
