Echo1711 New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 2:22 pm I just found this going through my "loose change" bottle. Would anyone be willing to confirm this as a DD. I have been wrong more than I have been right in the past, but I feel good about this one. If so, what is the best guess on its condition so I can estimate its value. Thanks in advance.

Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 18383 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 2:34 pm Very nice it appears to be 1983 DDR-001, 1-R-IV http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20...3PDDR001.htm Collecting since 1972.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 12011 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 2:38 pm Very cool find. Condition is on the rough side, yes. I'd guess value would run between $50-$125, Give it a loooooong soak in 100% acetone to break down any gunk which may be present. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 5093 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 3:02 pm What it is the weight? To me seem to be a bronze (3.11 gr) by color. NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT. FIRST THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL. THEN, THEY WILL BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE. Report this Post to the Staff

Echo1711 New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 3:52 pm I do not have the means to weigh it at my house. Is it important? Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 12011 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 3:54 pm I think it's a legit zinc core cent. Just my opinion Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 3408 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 4:19 pm Nice find. Looks to be zinc, man if it was copper that would be a very expensive DDR. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 5093 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 5:03 pm Why expensive JOHN? 2 bill. coins was strike in 1983 at the West Point from one strip of bronze (the only one strip). I agree that 1.78 bill was hold there and the rest was release together with the Phil coinage (page 4 report on June 1984). So around 200 mill. was release. I know that in 1986 and 1987 the mint recall billions of 1 cent for melting and they choice just the bronze and brass coins. NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT. FIRST THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL. THEN, THEY WILL BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE. Edited by silviosi 01/24/2023 5:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 50193 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 5:09 pm The 1983 copper cent is a key coin to find and is worth a substantial amount.https://www.PCGS.com/news/1983-copp...incoln-cents Echo1711's coin is copper plated zinc core.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 5093 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 5:17 pm Quote: Of the 14.6 billion cents manufactured, 12.7 were of the CPZ alloy from the report. Was one strip of 19.000.000 lb. I agree that it is possible that during the recall majority was melted. The banks like to release the old coins and keep the new ones. I do not question is not an CPZ but worth to look for.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 6369 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 5:42 pm It is a beauty, if only it were Copper Report this Post to the Staff
Echo1711 New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 7:36 pm Thanks for all the information everyone. I made one of those teeter totter balance devices that appears to be fairly accurate. I am confident in saying it is copper. Sad, but not too sad!! Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 5093 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 7:43 pm If you use an pre-1982 coins could be OK. Do not be sad, if cooper (bronze) you has for your pocket.
