base_metal New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 03/30/2023 12:30 am Hello, I found a 1983 Lincoln Cent with what appears to be extra material in the number 8 in the year. Is this a mint error? If so, is it anything special? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

This is a nice example, but not sure that there would be a numismatic premium.

Might be able to sell it to a collector who lusts for interesting die chips. Perhaps 25-50 cents. The usual question--what does the reverse look like? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/30/2023 10:55 am These are just die events. These posts break off the die, and the die is continued to be used. Will be continue to be used. So as many as 54% of these could look like that. So there is no premium for these with this die event. Report this Post to the Staff
