That is a large, really easy to tell them apart.  I always look at the shape of the 2 and the distance of the 2 from the rim first.

Correct.

Can someone tell me if I have a small or large date? Been looking at different ones against this for awhile now,,

I hope you realize that you would have a MUCH more likely find by taking a random MegaMillions or Powerball ticket and posting it here as a “winner”. Your chances of hitting one of the huge lotteries TWICE is more likely than finding a copper 1982-D small date cent.

Definite 1982-D Large Date. I think that there are only two copper 1982-D Small Date Cents known to exist 39 years after they were struck.  By contrast, there are 32 reasonably complete and well-preserved adult skeletons of Tyrannosaurus Rex known 66 million years after they died out.  If you go by a sheer numbers game, you have a better chance of finding a 33rd reasonably complete and well-preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex than another 1982-D Copper Small Date Cent.

Hmm, I need to rent some digging tools for the backyard. Civil War minnie balls?

I believe two things:

1-  There are many more than two Small Date 1982-D copper cents, and,

2-  Only Ratzie33, a former linotype operator, is presently licensed and authorized to access the means of production.

The problem is a simple one: supply and demand.  He is content to limit production of his one-or-two-of-a-kind "newly-discovered" creations.

BTW, I had always thought these anomalies were more often found in U.S. Mint Uncirculated Proof sets, but if only two have surfaced after all these years and attendant publicity, I will defer to the experts.

I do not believe this at all. I am still gobsmacked there are ANY. With the way this “hunt” draws clueless YouTube video watchers by the thousands, I’m willing to bet every 1982-D cent that exists has been checked multiple times.

You are now a close second to @Quintus Arrius and his vernacular.  I thought this was a made up word but low and behold...... it ain't!

It looks like it ha Split Plate Doubling around the edge which would make it a zinc cent.

I seen that to. I knew just soon as I seen it that it was a zinc.

Sir, I’ve lived in the north (a majority Latino town in Pennsylvania German country for over 50 years) for 65 years and northern Alabama for a year. I’ve got vocabulary I can whip out here that these people have never heard in their lives, and vice versa.

People where I live at that dont know me ask all the time where Im from. Tell me I got that deep mountain hillbilly voice.  Im live around hillbillies and the hillbilles I live around say I got the most hillbilly vocabulary they ever heard. Jed Clampett dont have nothing on me.

I live way up the holler here in Ky. Raise maters and taters to eat. I just growed up talking like that. I can type more sofisticated than I can talk. It just comes out like that. Never been able to control it.

Holler here means yellin from my neck of the woods.  Livin in a valley is more like, "I live in the haller".  Hollow means it ain't got no middle from where I'm from but me n' my friend @Hoghead515 ain't far apart. Just FYI QA, taters are potatoes, maters are tomatoes, Uins means "You all" (I still can't wrap my head around the Northern slang "ALL'S I'm saying is"......), a radiator is spoken just like it is spelled- radiator! It should be pronounced as 'ray-dee-ate-er'.... not a raaadiator as my northern friends call it. Also, one last thing....boiled peanuts seriously need to make their way up north!  We call boiled peanuts "Southern Caviar".  If you haven't ever eaten a boiled peanut..... well..... you are missing out on one of life's sweet delicacies! Just sayin......

Man, that whole post is culture shock to me!!! My area is what Jonathan (JKK) calls Baja Upper Canada.  You guys would probably laugh at my accent horribly!! We don's say raaadiator, though.  We say ray-dee-ate-or, but sound somewhat Canadian when we do it.  As for boiled peanuts.....no thanks.  They're a little too.....Southern for we Baja Upper Canadians.  But my downstairs neighbor loves them......but he's a true son of the South.  Born in Florida, somehow transplanted to Baja Upper Canada.  We have some very different ideas about food, that I must say.

You nailed it my friend.  We may throw in a "weeeee doggy" or a " Gollll- Leee," when we get excited about something. That is a real thing here.

Yinz guys got a nice accent. Sounds like a cat running through some jagger bushes.

@Hoghead515

The only person I heard of who ever said, "Gollll-Leee," was TV's Gomer Pyle.

@Hoghead515 + @GBrad. Where does, "hallowed be thy name," fit in?

@Oldhoopster

What about that lecture I got about sticking to numismatic subjects only

I thought you were busy checking all those unchecked 1982-D cents. 

[Hoghead515]

Its good to see youins fellers probably can understand me if you meet me. The old lady worked under a dr from California. We went out to eat with him and i tried to talk to him and he wouldnt say a word back to me all night. I thought he was to good or something. He told the old lady the next day he couldnt understand a word I was saying. Said I was like that Boomhower off that King Of the Hill cartoon.

I once met a young man from Harrodsburg, "Kin-TUCK," and I got nowhere trying to get him to pronounce I, as "eye" and not "aah." I like regional dialects. With the continuing homogenization of the United States, we're losing a part of what makes this country unique.

I have cousins and an aunt from Mississippi.  Earlier this year, my paternal grandmother died and most of my paternal family was there.  Myself, my fiancée and my sister and the Mississippi aunt and cousins had a hell of a time understanding each other!!! They didn't speak Baja Upper Canadian and we didn't speak Mississippi! But talking slowly and clearly, we did alright.  My accent is the worst because I also have some California Valley in there from my time in Fresno, and I definitely sounded funny to them!  There's also the dialect issues.....our colloquialisms and slang were completely different and I said "eh" a couple of times, which gave the Mississippi camp some laughs.  Given the situation, I was glad my little Canada-Cali dialect could provide some giggles.  My downstairs neighbor finds my accent quite amusing at times, too.  He says it's hearing "eh" said in a mixed Cali Valley/Baja Upper Canadian accent that gets him.  I can't blame him one bit .

No, absolutely not. No resemblance to you. He'd be about as old as I am now, 70, or older. I have never been to Harrodsburg but recall a reference he made to President Lincoln's log cabin. Besides, that was way back in 1972.

I was up there on 2000 and 2001. 4 trips.
