Monkey Man New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/29/2021 1:51 pm The D on this 1983 penny seemed a bit weird so I decided to get someone else's opinion.I do know that 1983 pennys were 97.5% zinc coated with a thin layer of copper.The pictures aren't the best but please help if you can.

Dearborn Moderator United States 100934 Posts	Posted 12/29/2021 4:16 pm the D took a hit exposing the zinc a little. Rot came after. Collecting since 1972.
