    Here is a reference so that you can help yourself:
    http://www.lincolncentresource.com/

    If that doesnt work, @paddyman98 is the resident expert on 82D Small Date cents ;)

    I would have to agree. That website is a valuable tool when searching lincoln cents. Make sure when you need help with a coin(s), you get a good picture. A good picture in this case was not 15 coins together. Try one and learn how to tell the difference apart. Then you can look at your other 14 and do it for yourself. That's the fun part about hunting. Learning what to look for and being able to distinguish it yourself! Happy hunting!

    I'm really confused. The example shown by Michael K looks opposite of the example Lincoln source. Which is correct, or am I just seeing it wrong?
    Also, who do I contact about a technical problem?

    Sorry, but you are seeing it wrong. What Michael K posted is exactly the same as on lincolncentresource.com

    The large date has the sloppy 2. The small date has the delicate, fully formed,
    swan's neck 2.

    I feel your pain Trebest. But, once I came across the delicate swan-like (as mentioned above) there was no contest. I was looking at all my 82's with a hand lens trying to make small differences into small dates. Now, I don't even have to use a hand lens! I can guarantee you will see the difference once you find one in the wild. Keep looking, there are alot of them out there.
