Is this 1982 penny a small date?

I'm having a hard time telling which pennies are small date, right now I'm thinking the 8 on the large date has a big top almost ovular, whereas the small date is a quite circular dot?

Also is this the right section to post?

looks like a small date...

 

Small date, although I would suggest that you use the 2 instead of the 8 for determination.

 

Yes it looks like a small date I think these 3 are all small dates too they all weigh 3.1 too

 

No purpose in keeping these in my opinion. They are worth 1 cent.

 

I get you

 

@furryfrog02 How much are these?

 

@Wheatmaster101 already answered it

 

Incorrect “they” are worth 3 Cents

 

^^^^
Well, debatable but I get your point

 

I was surprised @Petey that no one asked you to post a pic of the reverse,

 

I think most are ignoring this thread since the question has been answered & there is no sense (or cents?) in beating this dead horse any further.

 

Small. Good eye

 

Yep

 

As far as 82's go. 82 small date p mint are in the higher scale collectable 1982 year cents

 

Will keep in mind thanks a lot, don't have any of those yet

 

Yeah because you aready got your thousand. Us small fryes try to keep it interesting. Not jumping on you furryfrog Honest++++ if others look in the book and see the NOW listing of all the 82's. Im damn sure i.want small dates. Being so green, and new at collecting. We save the small ones. Just think. Gotta
be the most funnest to look for, then really think you found something. God bless 82's

 

Maybe this will help some one in the future.



Happy collecting!

 

Nope! You see, no one wants to look at all the past threads on this subject & compare their coin to others. They want their own coin, the one they have in hand, to be evaluated specifically.

I used to think it was to quench the need for instant gratification, but now I'm not so sure. I think it's because they have it in hand, they are not knowledgeable enough to read their own coin, and want validation that they found something special. Otherwise, there is a plethora of information on CT (that you & others have provided many times over) to easily ascertain the small/large date issue (as well as all the MD issues).

So we will continue to see several of these same questions every week. It's just the way it is. I keep opening these threads hoping beyond hope that eventually something special will be revealed, but no!
