Capricorn7 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/08/2024 02:45 am I found a 1983 penny with no mint mark and gold in color. I looked it up on Coin snap and it showed a value of $86, and I checked it over 10x to make sure I wasn't dreaming. If someone can tell me if I have something of value or was Coin snap wrong. This penny has me puzzled and wanting to know if it's worth more than a penny...... Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73575 Posts	Posted 04/08/2024 02:49 am To CCF, Capricorn7! Coin Snap is wrong. You won't get 86 dollars for that. I don't think you'd get more than face value for it, since it's circulated. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 04/08/2024 02:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94614 Posts	Posted 04/08/2024 08:05 am I would not trust any AI controlled grading sites like coin snap - 99.99999% of the time it is very wrong and point a collector in the wrong direction. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 04/08/2024 12:26 pm 1c best case, 1c worst case. An $86 value is -theoretically- for the very best of the very best condition. Out of the billions made (7,752,355,000), the one. It's also bogus. PCGS' Price Guide for MS66 (the highest grade they list, with six known) is $6. no mint mark is YouTube clickbait and also bunk. Except for the 2017 cent (to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the founding of the Philadelphia Mint), no cents minted in Philadelphia have a mint mark. So what you have is one of 7 3/4 billion circulated cents minted in Philly. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/08/2024 6:24 pm to the CCF As in John1s link, this is a brass plated coin from the mint. An improper alloy. It would have a small premium, but not $86. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 04/10/2024 10:49 am Normal color variation for copper plated cents. As the copper plating baths dissolve zinc from the planchets, the color will lighten. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
