Blake marie Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Are any of these small dates and are they worth anything if they’re large are they worth anything? Thank you! If you need better picture let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem E Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) If you take a look at the 2nd pic you posted, the top is a small date and the bottom is a large date. You can tell by the difference in the 2 and the 8 in the date. The one with the white mark on it is also a small date. You can use this to check the others. As far as worth, these are common cents worth face value. Edited June 21, 2021 by Lem E Add Blake marie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake marie Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 So what’s all the fuss about 1982/83 small date? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem E Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Just now, Blake marie said: So what’s all the fuss about 1982/83 small date? Lol There are a scant amount of 1982 Denver small date coins that were struck on a copper planchet instead of a zinc planchet. 1982 was a transition year when they changed the composition of the planchets from copper to zinc. There are 1982 cents struck on both. The 82 D small date was only supposed to be struck on a zinc planchet. There are a handful that were struck on copper planchets. Those are extremely hard to find and that is the one everyone wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods020 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 If you are treasure hunting, and not just filling slots on the varieties which I assume, then you want to look for this. 1982 D cent Small Date Copper weighing 3.11 grams vs zinc weighing 2.5 grams It has to be ALL of the above to be anything special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
