Well, I got this in my change today! 1982 D LMC (Small Date)

I got this in my change today. It looks like a 1982 D LMC (Small Date) that has damage on the number 2.

The "8" falls in line with a small date...top of the 8 smaller than the bottom of the 8.

What do you guys think?

I'd say large, but wait for someone who knows what they are talking about...

 

Nope its a small date and not an error,still just a cent.

 

It is a large date which has been severely whacked on the 2. It is too close to the edge to be a small date.

 

I'm still waiting for someone who knows.

 

Small date coins are not errors, they are part of the design. There are multiple varieties. Yes, its a small date as stated above.

Just saying because you posted in the error forum.

 

It's a small/large date/medium date. Don't make me flex. LOL.

 

It is a large date cent, the date is to close to the edge for a small date.
Top of '8' is oval.

 

Large date,the 1970 is so much easier to identify.

 

It's a large date for sure, the 2 is damaged but the distance from the rim is undeniable. If it was a small date it would be the uber rare one.

 

Nope.. Large Date

 

This is why sometimes it's good to wait.

 

It looked like a small date to me,for some reason I was thinking of as if this was a 1970 which is based on the 9.

 

It's better to take your time to be sure and post a correct answer even if its not first, than it is to rush and post the first incorrect answer.

 

Wasn't in a rush,since the 2 was damaged the only other way to tell was by the 9 i thought,didn't even notice the large or small date had a position difference.

 

The other thing you might want to understand is that only 2 Copper LMC 1982 D Small dates have ever been discovered. I don't think a 3rd example will ever be found. So, in stating it is a small date you are declaring it the 3rd example. That's an incorrect statement that is made when you.. rush.

 

Oh no guys.. Spam attack again. Don't click on the above link! Report it now!!!

Edit - Post was removed!

 

I always check the 2 first, then the 8, then the spacing from the 2 to the rim. I don't think you can easily see any significant differences on the 9 and I have never used it as a diagnostic

 

Spammer for sure. Reported. Good Lord, do something........

 

It's actually been a while since one has come(sex).
