It's a similar situation as finding a 1965 silver quarter or dime. VERY valuable coin; Indian has it about right with the 15k quote. Another of the things I am constantly on the lookout for!

May I ask how he aquired it?

He found it by weighing and sorting through $40-$50 in pennies every day for several years. It's pretty much his 2nd full time job. He has found many error coins but he's been looking for this one and I was happy to tell him he found a winner :)

I've been laughed at over the years when
I've told people that I look for an 83 copper. I don't see where an 83 copper is any more implausible than a 43 copper, 44 steel, or 46 warnix. When you're making tens of billions, stuff happens. Just that an 83 copper isn't as obvious. |

Yes, I also use it for the same.
It's quick and no batteries :)
By the way, I glued the zinc. to it.
Easier that way.

Great find, love it! I bag all 1983s and when I have several dollars saved up, I then look for the different varieties at one time but I always weigh them before putting them in a bag.

chzman: I check for varieties first then into a box (2x2x3 holds about $2.50). When full I weigh and roll them.

I am sure you are going to share the proceeds with your Ex, no doubt? ;)

I think I can tell the difference by holding an example in each hand. LOL

Any proceeds from the coin would naturally go to him. He's the one working for it! I'm not "one of those" kinds of an ex haha He's doing it all for his kids anyway. I just try to help when I can.
