Hi,

Came upon this in a roll. It weighs over 3 g which got my attention, but I just can't tell of it's a small or large date with the crud on it.

It seems to be a large date due to how thick the 2 is on the bottom, but then it seems to be small too due to distance from rim and the 2 tapering off at the bottom.

Help!

It's the Large Date. https://www.lincolncentresource.com...es/1982.html

The rare one is the 1982 D Small Date Copper cent. https://www.numismaticnews.net/worl...t-discovered

I thought that all copper cents were supposed to weigh over 3g.
