JoeVet New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/14/2020 4:04 pm Found this penny while cracking some proofs out. I know the 1983 was the first year of zinc core and there are some errors associated but haven't seen anything about proofs. Is it something to write home about?

Second, just to be clear, the packaging that you cracked out this cent from--was it original mint packaging or aftermarket packaging? Also, do you have a pic of this coin before you cracked it out?

JoeVet New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/15/2020 12:48 pm Unfortunately, I do not have a pic before taking it out of the set. I was opening sets for folders and they were coins of the 1980s, not very interesting. It was original sealed packaging in original blue box. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5803 Posts	Posted 08/16/2020 10:06 am I have seen something similar before. The lighter color almost looks white which has made me think some type of toning, in the other instances I've seen this. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
