It's kinda nice. Probably AU. No value above face value though.
Errers and Varietys.

For new collectors, finding a nice looking 40 year old coin in circulation is fun. As you continue to collect, other nice looking AU coins will jump out at you as well.
Keep collecting and stay passionate about collecting.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Very nice catch in the wild, and a nice looker  Its hard to find those high quality coins that have been potentially circulating around for nearly 40 years and its fun to pull them out for albums and collecting. Huge volumes of Lincoln pennies were struck in 1983 in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia mint facility struck 7.75 billion of them and Denver 6.47 billion so there are plenty out there somewhere to search, but because of having so many out there, circulated coins from 1983 are generally not worth more than their face value. The exception to that is error coins. Even brown circulated, double die reverse coins graded VF20 (very fine) fetch $20. Thats why some of us try to learn about what errors or varieties exist for other things to search besides the top grades. In mint state, red non-error coins are rarer and a bit more valuable. But the large numbers available keep prices modest. Many gem quality coins can be bought for well under $100. Even an MS67 coin is valued at just $70 if you look here at the pcgs chart (and you have to pay for grading) https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...3-1c-rd/3053At MS67+, a red 1983P Lincoln Penny is valued at $135. That rises to $625 at MS68. The finest known examples are three coins graded MS68+. Each of those are valued at $5,000. That one might even make coinfrog Ribbit
