Calleleon09 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I have this 1983 penny I did some research on it because the color was a bit different then the rest and I don’t really know a lot about pennies like collectors do so this is why I am asking if one you guys can help me see if it’s worth anything really. The only thing I found out was about something called double die and that’s what makes the coin valuable but I’m not really sure if this penny I have falls with that. Thank you !

l.cutler Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Looks like a normal 1983 cent. Nice condition for it's age, but just worth face value. Calleleon09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conder101 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Your coin is copper plated zinc not copper (the plating bubbles prove that instantly). There is a strong DDR (Doubled Die Reverse) that exists for this year that has some good value to it, yours is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
