WOW! That's a seriously rare find and what a handsome coin too. I almost never see 1983's in circulation without a whole lot of plating bubbles or zinc exposure nowadays. This coin is surprisingly well preserved. Again, big congrats! This is a variety you rarely ever see.

It's definitely a zinc coin with the bit of zinc showing through around the mint mark. You don't find circulated zincolns looking this good anymore! Especially not with a variety like this. Again, an excellent find!

Now there's a beauty! Tough coin to find one of, let alone three of, and in that condition is crazy. Well done!
