Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79975 Posts	Posted 04/01/2019 3:14 pm The 1983 D is supposed to weigh 2.5 grams, simce it's supposed to be on a Copper plated Zinc planchet. The other coin is just badly damaged from Post Strike Damage ( PSD) and is a spender. Have you tried weighing the 1983 D multiple times to make sure the scale wasn't off? Errers and Varietys.

Would 100% require TPG authentication, though my first stop would be to an XRF scanner to check the composition. Good luck. Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3344 Posts	Posted 04/01/2019 5:30 pm Even with the damage, you can tell that the second coin is not a 1983 - the shape of the eight tells me that it's probably an '82. Hope you're right with the '83. That would be an amazing find. Need to weigh it on an actual balance that reads down to 0.01 g. Rough estimates based on a known Cu coin are not 100% reliable.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/02/2019 11:35 pm Looks like a 1982-D large date copper to me. Even if it were a 83, the condition would drop the value to nil. Report this Post to the Staff
