Large date. Please try to do a little research on this in the Search box before asking this simple question.

marigold1111,

It is a large data. Depending on the weight,3.1 grams for copper and 2.5 grams for copper plated zinc,+/- .12 grams mint tolerance.
Please properly crop photos before posting them, we only need to see the coin not the background.

yes, this is a large date, but to answer your question, here are an example of both small and large date 1982 cents:

This is a small date - notice the gentle slope of the spine and the large gap between the rim and the 2.
