Wrenes Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 02:44 am One of my first coins. (New to collecting) even though I love this coin and probably would not part with it, I would like know more about it and get a sense of its value. Thank you in advance for your continued help!& 🏻 Report this Post to the Staff

Wrenes Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 02:56 am Sorry... the waves on the face/skin? Oil or dies not cleaned well? Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 03:01 am No worries on cleaning it, unless you know how to clean a coin. Leave it alone... lol We can see what is going on with a clear picture and a little input on what you think you are seeing on the coin... Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 03:06 am Ahhh... I think you are asking about the lumpy surface of the coin? Well 1983 is a zinc cent. Zinc cents tend to bubble and rot... some can look super bumpy... Is that what you are asking about? I would say you coin is a bit misaligned on the obverse, or off center. Would need to see the reverse to determine. Edited by Eyes4Error 02/13/2019 03:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 7:34 pm The only thing that I can see is a Ridge Ring and that is from Die Deterioration. Normal cent from what I see but not sure what exactly we're looking for. Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 7:34 pm I just see that it is slightly misaligned or off center... but nothing big! I am thinking just MD on the forehead and nose... Report this Post to the Staff
Wrenes Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 04:46 am Thank you everyone... the cool bumps, which I like, on the face was the main question. Zinc rot causing the bubbling. Very unique and now I know & . Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
