1982 small Date pennies

Why couldn't the 60 & 70 large/small date be this easy!!!

Those became very easy to spot only After I purchased a small date proof set. Once I had the actual coin in hand to study the curvature of the 9 and the position of the 7 in relation to the 0, it became more obvious. Pics lack the depth, and for me seeing the actual coin for comparison was what it took.

Now, I look first at the closure of the loop of the 9. Side by side, the small date looks nearly closed off compared to the large date. It's a dead give away. All this after I beat the 1970 S small date thread to death last year searching the rolls I already had. LOL

Anyway, that worked so well, I bought a full set of the 1960 P & D large and small date coins and have set up a comparison page in one of my binders. It helped the sorting immensely. I even added the 82s, although those are easy.

I did it again. I meant the 82 (P) small date zinc. I found one in my penny jar.

 

I often type faster than I can think. Sorry for any confusion

 

10gary22, I have a 1960 D small date as well that i found in the same jar.

 

Are you trying to build posts counts or something? We call that post whoring...

BTW: Thanks Gary...

 

don't forget to check the 82 small date zincs for the doubled die reverse

 

Nope. Just an ongoing conversation. Now I see you have 382 post count. Have you been doing a little whoring?
