Hi, I am new to this and this is my first post and I know this question has been asked by 1000’s of others but someone please tell me if this is a sm or lg date

Welcome!  It is a large date, these are actually super easy to tell apart.  Check a comparison picture, look at the shape of the 2.  On the small date the upright portion of the 2 is curved, on the large it is straight.  Even easier, look at the distance from the 2 to the rim, on the large date the 2 is close, like on your coin.  On a small date there is a lot of space between the 2 and the rim.  Think of it as having space for another number.

Thanks that’s what I thought but wanted to be sure ! So by far not rare or special! Thanks again!

Definately a large date.

You are more likely to hit PowerBall TWICE than to find a copper 1982-D small date.

Correct, over 6 billion made and you have an average run of the mill circulated example worth one cent.
