How strong of a strike does a mm have to be, to say, maybe it is a 1982 (?) small date ?

Two examples of why I'm asking. If I take a pencil and rub it, they show as a raised image.
How strong of a strike does a mm have to be, to say, maybe it is a 1982 (?) small date ?

And Is this a rule of thumb on any coin ?

    Not that rule of thumb.

    What does a strong or weak strike have to do whether it is a small or large date?
    The positioning of the numbers do not move.

    A mint mark strike is my question. On any coin.
    Look above the (small date) 8 in both of these photos. That is an example of my question and notice they could be related. Oh my.

    Small or large date is not in question .

    Think about this.
    The slogan "this is your brain on drugs ". Hence, the image of an egg sunny side up as it is frying in butter on a stove.
    Now @IkesT .. ( <3 ) shows what should have been, to send this message.
    Switch the egg and use bacon cooking during a rain storm, (for the effect)
    with a figure posed in a fetal position showing, a brain is a terrible thing to ignore.
    Now ...back to work. LOL'...S
    ..A.......good try..
