I have 4 1982 D Lincoln cents I think they are all large date but would like your opinion on it, since I'm very new at this. Thank you.
Alrighty Thank you so much. Now I have to get me a scale to weigh it. Or that might not even be necessary it's got something on the back of it zinc rot maybe corrosion or something. Lol
Threw me for a moment until I realized that in the vertical set the same coin is shown twice; 1 and 4 from top to bottom, and I agree with CoinCorgi's call.
Almost forgot to mention that the difference between the 2 types is not to hard to see on a well struck coin: On the "Small", the short leg of the "9" points back toward the "8"; the "8" has nice symmetrical loops, and; as the "2" sweeps down toward its horizontal base it has a curved bias (toward the "8"). Hope that helps.
Talk about being lucky. I have a 1982 small date D, a 1982 small date P (no mint mark) and four 1982 large date D. Each one is copper EXCEPT one...guess which one lol. They're tough to find...
