Can anyone tell me if this penny is a large or small date?

And, is it a copper coin or just a standard zinc coin?

Well, I think I found my answer. It weights 2.5g, so it's a small date zinc penny. Nothing special.

No you do not roll this coin you save it.
This is an example of a large date that you need as a reference.

Your statement that it is 2.5 grams therefore it is a small date is nonsensical.
This is a large date and they come in both 2.5 gram and 3.1 gram versions.

Now you need to find any small date as a reference.

Don't be a treasure hunter who never bothers to learn what a large date looks like because they are hunting for the big money

Well it is a large date and only worth face value - especially that you confirmed it as a Zinc cent
