Confirmation 1982 penny small date

Just wanting to make sure of this one. After seeing pictures it has been easier to spot the difference but since I'm still inexperienced so looking for confirmation of what I'm seeing.

Thanks in advance.

Once you have run across a number of these coins they will stand out quite well against each other as small/large date. The small dates are better formed and clear, while the large dates usually appear quite sloppy compared to the small.

 

@RyanTx , as one of the moderators said earlier today in another thread, there are millions of messages here on CoinTalk! If you search for "1982", you'll find more than you want, but here is a recent thread that might help:

Even better is BadThad's post (7th in that same thread)

 

Thanks. I did actually post in that thread linked saying the pictures were helpful. Like I said being inexperienced and all i was just looking for a veteran here to say i was correct in the labeling of my find.

On a side note i found this nice little specimen today as well.

 

D'oh. Sorry. I should have caught that...;-(

 

No worries.

 

To answer your question, you've labeled both coins correctly in terms of small and large dates.

 

Thank you.
