  1. What ever you do DO NOT SELL that coin! It is extremely RARE! Its what we call in the coin collecting business a RIPPLE! I have been a coin broker and appraiser for 25+ years! I have never seen one but heard of two in private collections! The first sold at auction for 15k 7 years ago and the 2nd coin sale was not revealed to the public! Pictures are tough to come by because you cant really show weight of a coin! My recommendation keep it!......Or find a HIGH END coin auction house! Could be worth six figures1

    A Little Help Please

    Before you say where's the picture, I am making sure I actually have something of value first. If I do and someone has an offer, I will post the video of me placing it on a scale as verification. I haven't been collecting long, just since I inherited my grandpa's small collection and found some coins so beautiful, I picked up the hobby. So, about two months ago, in talking with a few "coin collectors", they asked me to look for a 1983 penny weighing 3.1g. I probably have weighed about 100 '83 pennies, all 2.5 or 2.6 depending. But not today. Today I pop one on and bingo. 3.1 Very excited, I jump online and can find the following three statements about it...

     

    Yeah, the legendary 83. 6 years I've looked, and nothin. Heard they are out there

     

    The coin is a farse. Not one penny from 1983 weighs 3.1g unless its covered with .5 in dirt

     

    There are a bunch floating around, they have no value what-so-ever

     

    So, what is it. I have one. It's the honest truth. Will deliver tonight haha!
