I have a 1983 Lincoln Penny, zinc, with possibly many issues. It's really hard to get a good pic, but, I believe it is a Die Clash. It appears to have the Lincoln Memorial going across his face and a sillouhette of his head on the Observe? A possible Die Crack on the left side of Lincoln's shoulder? Minor Plating issue on the right side below the date. Lincoln's head appears DD. On the Reserve it appears to be DD in the words One Cent. It's really shiny and hard to get good pics. Please let me know what you all think. Thank you!     |

You need to work on your photos. The only thing I can see is a Plating Blisters on the obverse. Looks pretty normal so far.
Errers and Varietys.

I'll try. It's kinda hard to get the Reserve. Just looks like a curved line

Going by the pictures, which are not very good, I'm just seeing Die Deterioration, plating issues and scratches, nothing of any significance. |

 the pictures need improving. But I think I see a die clash [prisoner cent] on the obverse.

I am trying to get better pictures. I might have to go into the sunlight tomorrow and try.
Yes Cujohn, thank you. That's exactly what I am seeing too.

The coin is in bad shape and the pics do not show it well but as Cujohn stated, there is clashing. It's on the reverse too, you can see Abe's head coming off of the right side of the N of ONE, so you have a couple of clashed dies, obverse and reverse. You have the coin in hand, so see if you can nail it down to one of the 1983 P listed clashes. Link below.  LINK -makecents-

Get a good picture of bay 3 as well, there might be part of the clast there as well. (Look for that diagonal line in the upper part of bay 3)
