TedError Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 8:13 pm Please review this 1983 D penny with unusual date and mint mark. I can see as many as 3 "8's"? Almost like there is a large 8 and a small 8. Maybe the top of an 8 next to the 3 as noted in WDDO-003 variety? Thoughts? Thanks!!! Report this Post to the Staff

TedError Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 8:33 pm I knew that zinc rot was part of the answer for the 3, but there's more that zinc rot going on for this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94932 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 8:40 pm What I see is (a mentioned, the zinc rot), Machine Doubling, and split plating. The D MM looks like it was damaged and squashed down almost flat, as with part of the date too. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
