scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 05/07/2011 11:21 am My research has not uncovered the existence of a 1983 D Brass LMC. Has anyone heard of, or found, a 1983 D Brass? Is there any way to make the determination? Weight? Specific gravity? Taste? Here are my pics. I know that one is a 1983 P and the other is a 1983 D, but I didn't have another 1983 D to compare it too. What are your thoughts? Edited by scurry64 05/07/2011 3:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/07/2011 12:57 pm Is he talking about brass 1983 cents, or brass plated 1983 cents? There is a big difference. If he is talking about a brass cent then weight will tell the difference A brass one will weigh 3.1 grams +/- .1 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

If it weighs 3.11g, it is copper alloy, and should be sent out for authentication and grading. Report this Post to the Staff
scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 05/07/2011 3:30 pm I should have said brass plated. Its clearly not a "solid" brass cent based on the feel method. Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 05/07/2011 5:56 pm I've found 84-D's and saw no mention of them either...but I think enough brass plated cents have shown up that there is not much if any premium for them...maybe uncirculted ones will get you a couple of bucks.
