This is a interesting error and I would like to share. This penny has a heavy die clash on the obverse which shows the columns from the Lincoln Memorial . There is a similar coin mentioned on Couch Collectibles . "HOW MUCH ARE 1983 PENNIES WORTH? VALUABLE MINT ERROR COINS TO LOOK FOR! These are rare pennies and other coins that sold at auction for some good money." Time Stamp 4:00
yes, a doublt clash is what it looks like to me as well - what is interesting to me is the rotated reverse die by a few degrees on the first clash, then another degree turn for the second.
On the 1983/84 cents there dies went through a lot of die clashes those years. Don't open the full images from this link on a cell phone. It will take too long and you will not be able to see the images as clear on a phone. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/39644403 Seem to me way over graded because of the extreme die polishing of the dies? https://www.PCGS.com/cert/38343341 But when you see this happening a lot on graded coins, you know that this was a problem those years.
YouTube is a dangerous place to go looking for information on coins as it's highly saturated with false info, so you've done wisely to share your cent here for validation and education.
