There were 10.7 billion 1982 pennies struck in Philly. How many pairs of dies do you think were used? If you don't believe me, look it up in the Red Book. Chris
This website might help you understand the difference.. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1982.html Maybe you can narrow them down to the list provided. If you look at the list there is no 1982 Small Date Copper with the D Mint Mark. It was never meant to be minted. But only 2 have actually ever been found and attributed.
So I found 2 more 1982 Lincoln cents... If it wasn't right the first time it is now..the first one is farther from the rim and shaped more like and S then an L...
You know Chris, you've been getting rather short-tempered lately. Yes, in the last picture the upper one is a small date and the lower is a large date
