Baltimore003 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/14/2020 10:19 pm Ive been going through thousands of penny and came across this unusual 1983 penny. I wasnt able to find anything like it online or with any other 1983s. Lincoln looks off but if you see he has "comb over" look about his hair also the "We" seems off at top. Could anyone give insight on what type of error this may be and perhaps how this happens during the coin making process. Thank you for your time #happycoining Report this Post to the Staff
