It looks like an off center strike and a partial collar.

Nice find not much value but who cares on a downright cool, scarce example like yours. Myself I think these are better and more desirable than the major off center strikes that Ballon all over every direction of the compass. Ya gotta go through a lot of bank boxes to find an example this nice. Give it a gentle soak in pure acetone overnight let it dry then 2x2 safe flip it.

Looks legit to me, and with devices falling off the edge, it is a desirable find. Well done @per.

I feel this is an out of collar strike, so it is just an off center. Note there is not rim on either side of the coin. On a partial collar you could see some rim showing:  Note the rim? That is where the coin was in the collar. Where it is out of the collar, you can see the planchet was not contained in the collar.   I see no evidence of a rim on the OP's coin.

The OP's 1983 cent is an off-center strike with a strong collar scar. It would be incorrect to call it a partial collar error.
