1982 d small dates

[Tjm]

:s took a week off give or take took in the Wexler on doubling obverse and reverse learned what small dates to big dates but not close but my question is are these 1982 d small dates stuck don't want to believe it but here we go coin help community did I learn or should I take a few more weeks off want better pics let me know but I have to go back to it about 10 more hours left sorry been awhile and thank you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving

The first two are small dates but the coin on the right is a large date, you should be able to see the difference in the 8 and the 2.

You need to watch this video

I have watched it over and over again I am just stumped my phone pics are crappy and I kinda know they are double dates and doubling but can't take a good pic but I'll try

[Tjm]

I have like 16 small dates and still not done looking

[Tjm]

I know I have a 1996 wide am just to much

[Daniel]

Only one doubled die so you're seeing strike doubling and Wide AM for 1996 is normal.

[Tjm]

I think they are all small dates the Lincoln on the end has doubling or die clash on the 2 that makes it looks smaller but you haven't failed me yet getting me a cent scale today then I hope I can get a micro digital microscope if I am good

[Daniel]

And this is how I know you're not studying close enough. You must look at the opening in the 8 as well and the 8 on the right end coin is a large date 8. I can assure you I don't mix these up and know 100% the difference.

I can say you are my mentor understand just have to ask questions that's how I know I am learning thanks again Daniel get back with you about the weights of the 82s

Tjm sadly the one you weighed in the picture is the large date and is copper at 3.2 grams. We all have developed our own little tricks to determine what is a large date and small date in the 82's. Daniels is the 8's, I look at the 8's too but I first look at the 2's. Several giveaways there. The large date 2 has a straight leg from the cruve at the top to the sharp angle to the bottom flat whereas the small date will always have a gentle curce from the top of the 2 to the bottom curve and flat bottom. Sort of looks like a swan neck. Also look at the distance to the rim. A large date is always to close to the rim that there is no the way you could shove another number between the 2 and the rim. A small date has a lot of room between the 2 and the rim, enough where another 2 would fit between the existing 2 and the rim.

The first two from the left are sm date zinc and in this condition worth about a penny, the one on the far right looks like a large date (it’s a really late die state) and makes you think it’s doubled but IS NOY doubled . About the weight, weight from 2.5 (+-.13) to 3.1 Gram is normal for ALL 1982s EXEPT 1982D SM DATE which never intended to be on a 3.1g planchette . So if you have a 1982-1982D that’s weight 3.1g is completely normal unless it’s a 1982D sm date.
And none of your coins are a sm date on a copper planchette
