yes










But only if theres pictures

 

Do you have a scale?thats a transitional year it could be copper around 3.11 grams or a zilincon at around 2.5 grams.

 

It weighs 2.4

 

I have some that weigh3.1 also

 

That means it's made out of %95 copper

 

2.4 is zinc.
3.1 is the copper

 

It appears to be small date and the weight indicates zinc, so unless you're collecting all the types by mint for 1982, it's pocket change. If you also have 1982-D weighing 3.1, I'd be 99.99999% sure they're all large date. There are only 2 known 1982-D small date bronze.

 

small date

 

These are the 3.11

 

those are all large date, and they look copper. and weigh the same as copper

 

And those are large dates.
Please check the little charts we have provided you, so you can answer your own questions

 

Thank u

 

I never paid much attention to these but it came up on forums so many times that I finally developed a cursory knowledge. The distance of the 2 to the rim for me is the easiest at-a-glance way to tell - the large date has the 2 much closer to the rim. If it's hard to tell, proceed to the other diagnostics. For the other large/small bronze/zinc combinations it really only matters value-wise out in grade MS-64 or so.
