Can someone tell me if this is a small date? And what to look for in the date that makes them different.
That's a Large Date. There are millions in circulation. The Copper 1982 Small Date D Mint Mark is the ultra rare one. Only 2 have ever been discovered. Right @furryfrog02
That's the Copper Plated Zinc and not the ultra rare Copper Small Date. Read my statement. 1982 transitioned to Copper Plated Zinc Cents mid 1982.
@potty dollar 1878 Some information for you http://www.lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1982.html Here are the 7 known different 1982 Cents. See if you can find the 1982 D Small Date Copper. The answer is no.
First, welcome to the neighborhood! You might want to copy the images that @paddyman98 posted to your computer. Questions regarding the '82 Small & Large dates come up quite often.
