Brandenb1025 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 10:02 am Hey there , I'm new to coin collecting but I was going through my pocket change the other day and came across this 1983 D penny. At first glance it just looked like it had severe damage, but upon further inspection I noticed almost a type of build up of metal in a few places, as if something went wrong during casting. Any and all information about this would be extremely helpful, as I'm not sure what I'm seeing here. Report this Post to the Staff
