Cons Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 06/08/2021 1:35 pm Hi all. Here is the other 1983 penny I was wondering about. I also see an off centered strike with lettering on rim. Again, thank you, thank you. I hope pics are ok. The coin weighs 2.5 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19436 Posts	Posted 06/08/2021 1:54 pm That bulge just in from the rim is known as a Ridge Ring (pressure ring)--a result of Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/08/2021 1:55 pm What you are seeing on your coin is called Ridge Ring. Just a die breaking down. Not a premium for these. Once the die reaches this point all coins after that will be affected. Not a one time event. I call these die events. Not a premium. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/08/2021 6:38 pm I agree with all of the above. Plus, it looks like you have a small die chip atop the 3. Report this Post to the Staff
Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 06/08/2021 9:39 pm The chip does not add much of a premium. Maybe worth 25 cents. Report this Post to the Staff
