Teosoxx New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 02/22/2026 06:16 am Hey everyone, I'm looking for help verifying a 1982-D Small Date penny that's weighing in at 3.10 grams on a 0.01g scale. Here's what I've confirmed so far: - Mint mark: D - Date style: Small Date (thin "2," aligned tops on 8 and 2, tall "1") - Weight: 3.10 g (consistent with copper) - Appearance: Copper color, clean strike, strong details - Rim and spacing: Look normal and even - No signs of damage, plating, or alterations I know the ultra-rare variety is the 1982-D Small Date copper, so I'm trying to figure out whether this coin matches the known characteristics or if it's just a normal copper strike. I've attached clear photos of: - The date - The mint mark - The full obverse and reverse - The scale reading Any expert opinions or die-marker guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 02/22/2026 08:28 am Going by the numbers is the hardest wayto tell the difference, just go by the spacing of the 2 from the rim. If it is close to the rim, it is a Large Date, if you can fit another number between the 2 and the rim, it is a Small Date. Yours is clearly a LargeDate. Report this Post to the Staff
