Alex_C New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 4:31 pm Looks like a Small date. You can also see some difference in the top of the "8" between the two versions. Now if it copper and not copper over zinc, you might have a good find ! Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 4:37 pm I go by the top circle of the 8,on the SD it is smaller than a LD.Yours is a SD and looks like a zinc 2.5 grams +/- .10 grams. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97379 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 4:47 pm You can also tell by the gap of the tail of the 2 to the rim. Big gap = small date, small gap = large date. and yes, your coin is a small date zinc coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19208 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 5:47 pm As above, it's a small date, '82 D Memorial cent. An accurate weight--to two decimal places--will tell us much. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15483 Posts	Posted 05/04/2023 08:22 am to the CCF Agree it is a small date - but what does it weigh? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Lance77 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 11:51 pm Ok I finally got a hold of some digital scales and it weighs 3.11 I'm going to add two more pictures, I have both of these in my possession. Notice the difference between the two and the rim of the coin.and the suspected small date does weigh 3.11 Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1658 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 04:40 am I would suggest finding another scale, that coin is a copper coated zinc. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 05:37 am You can buy a scale for not much money. Get one that goes down to 0.001 grams. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97379 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 08:29 am Can you post up another picture of your cent on the scale for us? please show the entire scale and read out.
