Hello All,

I found something spectacular today in pocket change I had to get about 20 diff opinions so I need a few more so as I know I'm not sleeping. Before I A. Get it graded. Or B. Sell it for cheap and have a nice christmas. Please advise your opinion and if you would like to own it advise me what you would donate to get it Lol..

That is a large date.

 

You can just spend it.

 

I wonder how many coins like this get sent in for grading.

 

It's a large date so you can spend it. It's only worth face value. Welcome to CT.

 

Here compare yours to these...

 

Keep looking Sport, you will get there one day.

 

Nope.. As the others stated, that's a Large Date.

Worth? 1 Cent

 

They made billions of those.
But on the plus side there's only 1000 threads here claiming the exact same thing.
The small date 1982 has a very delicate shaped 2. The large date has the sloppy 2 without the swan's neck curve.
This is the small date 2, compare it to yours.

 

If ever a 3rd example is ever found it would be the most exciting day in CoinTalk history! More exciting than someone finding a true 1969 S DDO!

 

Ya think?
I would think that both would be exciting.
Both are overplayed by newbies, but what fun it would be to see one of them right here on CT.
