Anyone second my opinion about this coin?
Sorry Its a large date
No. Look how much further from the rim the 2 is on the linked small date example below. Scroll down the page to see obvious differences between the large and small dates.

The differences between a large date and a small date are obvious. You have a common large date example.
Guess again.

With just two having ever been certified and auctioned how is it that the two is just supposed to be that far away from the rim? I realize 1982 D small date zink cent is away from the rim and is verified by the many that are out there. Just two copper ones is not enough to be sure to myself that the date rests that far from the rim.
You don’t have to be sure to yourself if you don’t want to. But your coin is clearly a Large Date example.

and you also did not provide a weight

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying but in any case, there are many billions of large and small date 1982 cents to choose from if you need to compare. The ultra-rare version you mistakenly think you have is actually an off-metal or transitional error, so the fact that there are only two is irrelevant to identifying the difference.
I'm thinking that he does not have an understanding of the coin minting process and thus does not understand how dies are made.

The distance from the rim is not going to change between a copper cent or a zinc cent. They will look the same, just different composition.
Compare your coin to the pics posted by @MsMorrisine @MFeld was pointing out that the distance between the rim and the 2 is one of the characteristics used to determine a large date from a small date. Also notice the shape of the 2 and 8.
Your coin matches the characteristics of a large date coin, not a small date
Nice large date.
What's nice about it?
It's got marks all over it.

Mark ... I was referring to the date only.
It has 3 cents worth of copper!
Surely, you’ve seen many far more valuable coins, but that doesn’t make them nice.😉

I found this 1982 D last night. Any chance it has some value?
Yep it does have value, its worth one cent.

ONE CENT.
What does it weigh to at least 1/10th of grams if not 1/100ths?
I will have to purchase a scale to see the weight.
Just wanted a second opinion on whether it was the small date or large. Thanks.
It looks like a small date, but unless it’s bronze, as opposed to zinc, it has no extra value.

It all depends on the weight. It is a small date. If it's copper, you have something. If it's zinc, pocket change

it's a small date
2.5g
Pocket change.
Thanks for the input.
Yes, now be aware. There are a few of the 1982 small date Philadelphia coins that do in fact weigh the neccessary 3.1. Were talking the small date,1982p cent. Not the 82 small date d, from Denver.
