Okay well I'm a novice collector and have delved into the error coin section of collecting. Today however I came across a penny in my change that was given back to me. After getting home I decided to pull out the change because after all you can find coins with errors still today. Anyway after looking at the penny I see the date but whats weird is theres five numbers instead of four. The date is 19830. This cant be possible can it. Unless maybe the coin was overstruck. Is this possible. I know all about the types of errors doing to research but havent heard of this one. Any helpwould be appreciated Report this Post to the Staff

Without seeing a pic to be sure, I would presume that your "0" is really a gas bubble underneath the copper coating on an otherwise normal 1983 plated-zinc coin. This would count more as "damage" than "error". Are there any other odd blobs, bubbles or similar features elsewhere, on either side? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
