A 1983 variety penny with the highest grade instantly makes it very valuable. For instance, an uncirculated 1983 1C Doubled Die Reverse Lincoln cent graded MS68RD, sold for $7050.00. Being a variety coin implies a lower population, and in pristine condition it’s even rarer.

Gas Bubbles or Plating Blister Pennies

Furthermore, plating blisters, or gas bubbles, are common occurrences on 1983 pennies. In other words, they’re “particles caught in between the copper plating and the zinc core of an improperly washed zinc planchets react.

Moreover, it causes both the copper plating to bubble up and the zinc core to corrode. While it is technically an error made during the coin production process, it’s not considered as valuable.” – coinworld.com

However, people still collect pennies with plating issues, including those with plating gas bubbles, but average asking price is a dollar or less. Additionally, “a common cause of zinc rot is the presence of a small perforation or tear in the copper plating. This allows oxygen and reactive compounds to reach the zinc core. If the bubbles pop, the coin develops zinc rot.” – error-ref.com

Wrong planchet error coins make 1983 pennies worth a lot of money. Furthermore, a small scale is all you need to know as a 1983 copper penny weighs 3.1 grams. Anything more or less could be a wrong planchet error coin. For example, check out an examination of a 2019 planchet coin plating error penny. Happy Hunting!
