1983 Lincoln Cent Errors, Varieties, & Values

1983 Lincoln Cent Die Clash Error and More Errors, Varieties, and Values

1983 Lincoln cent errors and varieties exist and are worth more than their face value. For instance, 1983 penny clashed die error pennies have asking prices starting around $5 and up in raw condition on Ebay.

Additionally , a 1983 one cent coin in raw condition refers to an ungraded or unencapsulated coin. Moreover, values vary and depend on the eye appeal of the coin, not necessarily the holder. However, the holder makes it possible to cosign with auction companies.

Furthermore, note the die markings on a 1983 Lincoln cent displays a die clash error, rim cuds, and a reverse die crack. Moreover, these 1983 pennies were found in an original wrapped bank roll purchased from lincolncent.com.

1983 Penny Value

Furthermore, cent coins don’t require being of any varieties or have any errors in order to be more valuable. In other words, a Lincoln penny in pristine condition is worth much more than one cent. For instance, a 1983 Lincoln Memorial Cent graded MS68, sold for $1840.00.

Additionally, only two 1983 Lincoln cents in population are graded MS68+. Furthermore, they’re valued at $5000.00 each. A 1983 D Lincoln Cent graded MS68, sold for $1380.00. These are the pennies worth money!

1983 Doubled Die Variety Penny Values

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.

Moreover, eye appeal increases value. For instance, a 1983 1C Doubled Die Reverse Lincoln Cent graded MS64BN, sold for $495.00. Note the doubling spotted easily with the naked eye. At first the letters look blurry from a distance, like blurred vision, but it’s actually doubling of the coin.

However, the doubling is more evident when looked at with a 10X loupe or placed under a USB coin microscope. Graded specimens have asking prices of hundreds of dollars on Ebay. Furthermore, A 1983 Lincoln Cent Doubled Die Obverse graded MS65RD, sold for $440.00.

How to Find Rare 1983 Pennies

The best ways to find a rare and valuable penny worth money is to invest in uncirculated original wrapped pennies by the rolls, and search through them. They’re found in bank rolls and pocket change just as well.

Another option is to purchase 1983 mint sets and then examine all the coins in it. Don’t break it out of the original mint set unless you think it’s absolutely worth doing so.

Chuck Daughtrey Hosts Coppercoins Auctions

I myself obtained these specimens by bidding on and then examining a single full roll of 1983 Lincoln Cents, obtained by participating in Coppercoins Auctions.

Additionally, I found more than one clashed die error mint state specimen coin in that roll. Moreover, a few 1983 struck through debris displayed in the nine of the date on two of them, as shown in the image below.

1983 Penny Die Varieties

Observe the “Bird’s Nest” die variety displaying a die chip in the upper right corner base of the memorial building. 1983 Lincoln cents with die cracks and breaks are worth around five dollars and up according to the Ebay sold listings.

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

Weigh 1983 Pennies to Discover Wrong Planchet Errors

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!

1909 Lincoln Cent Errors, Varieties, and Values

The 1909 Lincoln cent is a sought after wheat penny known for errors and varieties. Moreover, the values of the 1909 penny vary, but they can be as high as the price of a small house. Furthermore, both mints struck coins with the initials and without the initials.” – Heritage Auctions

1909 Penny Famous for Controversy

Additionally, “the 1909 S version was the first year of the Lincoln coin. Almost immediately upon release the public made complaints about Brenner’s initials (V.D.B.) on the back of the Lincoln cent, because the initials are located under the wheat stalks.”

After the location of the V.D.B. initials attracted public scrutiny, the U.S. Mint responded to the criticism by removing the initials entirely. “Thus the result some 1909 Lincoln cents bear the V.D.B. initials, and others do not.” – the-sun.com

Collectible 1909 Penny Varieties

Additionally, “instead of placing the initials elsewhere with new dies, mint employees simply removed them entirely from die. This produced a new variety of 1909 cents without the V.D.B.

Furthermore, as new dies were being prepared, the designer’s initials on the old dies were removed by crude tooling. 1909 pennies struck by these altered dies are highly sought-after.” – error-ref.com

1909 V.D.B. Struck Through Reverse Error

What caused this coin to catch my eye first, is that the V.D.B. initials appear as a struck through grease error. Moreover, I wouldn’t have noticed the V.D.B. without a microscope, because the initials aren’t as visible to the naked eye.

Was this 1909 V.D.B. penny deliberately struck through from crude tools used to remove the initials? Was it an unintentional error? Additionally, feel free to contact me with your thoughts about it.

1909 Lincoln Cent Mintages

The 1909 cent is extremely valuable not only because of the fame garnered from the controversy surrounding them, but also the low mintage brought on by the controversy. Furthermore, only 484,000 1909-S pennies were produced. However, though that’s a rare variety, it’s not all that makes these Lincoln pennies so valuable.

1909 Lincoln Cent Values

1909 V.D.B cents can be found for sale on Ebay in circulated raw condition at around five dollars and up. The values do vary and depend on the condition of the coin, mintage, and variety. The more unique the coin, then the lesser the population, and the higher the grade, the more valuable the coin!

Furthermore, there are only four 1909 VDB Lincoln cents without errors, but with a high mint state grade of MS68. The PCGS price guide value is an estimated $57,000 per coin! A 1909 1C Lincoln, graded PR68RD (Proof), sold at auction for $59,800.00.

1909 Lincoln Cent Doubled Die Varieties

The value of the 1909 penny depends not only on the condition of the coin but whether it has a unique error or other anomaly, such as the 1909 doubled die varieties. The 1909 S minted pennies with the initials have the lowest mintage, but pennies of this date can still be extremely rare and valuable regardless of mintage.

Furthermore, this 1909 penny displays moderate to extra thickness showing on the date and Liberty. I compared images to listings available via coppercoins.com first.

Furthermore, doubling exists on the front and back of 1909 Lincoln cent. Therefore it’s important to examine both sides of the coin.

2020 P Connecticut Quarter Doubled Die Reverse Variety Coin

2020 P Weir Farm Connecticut Quarter Doubled Die Reverse Variety Coin

Needless to say, I hit a coin variety jackpot! For instance, observe the 2020 P Weir Farm Connecticut doubled die reverse variety quarter obtained from a mint wrapped roll. Furthermore, these rare quarters appeared to have a satin-like finish.

At first, I mistook this quarter as incused machine doubling. However, I decided to check for any new rarity listings on doubleddie.com first, where there are indeed 2020 quarter doubled die variety coin rarities listed!

2020 Weir Farm Doubled Die Variety Quarters

Doubled die variety quarters are not only rare, but can drastically increase in value over time. Doubled die variety and error coins are a lot of fun for treasure seekers with limited mobility to hunt for. Coin hunters find rare and valuable coins like this 2020 Weir Farm doubled die variety, by taking on a task called coin roll hunting.

Treasure Hunting for Rare Coins

The work is time consuming, however, it’s rewarding in more than one way. Additionalyl, collectors show appreciation for their efforts by purchasing errors and varieties for a premium or to auction off using platforms like Ebay. Personally, I sell them for $5 each in my Ebay store.

Rare Satin Finish Quarters

Furthermore, “at times the U.S. Mint has produced and sold “Satin Finish” coins. These are different than the normal circulated examples. Additionally, satin finish varieties refer to the type of finish of a quarter.

Furthermore, the quarters appear matte, unlike their proof counterparts, which have reflective fields. They’re struck in higher quality, when compared to the coins for mass circulation sold direct from the U.S. Mint to collectors.” – GreatCollections

The above images are of the die markings on the 2020 P Weir Farm Connecticut doubled die variety listed as 2020-P 25¢ CT WDDR-002 by John Wexler.

Proof-Like Quarter Varieties

Furthermore, satin finish coins have a different appearance than proof, proof-like, or business strike coins. Moreover, these coin aren’t mirror-like. However, they’re more glossy in appearance.

Additionally, satin finish coins are struck on special sandblasted or “burnished planchets.” Furthermore, the 2020 D Weir Farm Connecticut mint wrapped quarter roll appeared shinier, and indeed more proof-like.

Compare the difference between the glossy appearance of a satin finish strike and a normal business strike finish as an example using the examination of a 2020 W Weir Farm Quarter found last year.

Some say the United States Mint no longer produces satin finish quarters, and hasn’t since 2010. Could they’ve produced satin finish 2020 quarters by mistake?

2018 Michigan Quarter Errors

2018 Michigan Quarter Errors, Varieties, & Values

2018 Michigan quarter errors and varieties exist! For instance, this 2018 Michigan quarter displays an improperly annealed planchet error. Furthermore, I almost mistook it for an environmentally damaged coin.

I learned otherwise after scouring the web for articles and visual examples and sought out advice for how to appropriately identify the error. Moreover, to understand a mint error like this, it’s important to understand how the coin production process works.

The Annealing Process

“Coins start out as blanks. First, blanks are first cut from metal coils and then sent to an annealing furnace. Then, from the furnace they go to a cooling water bath, followed by a polishing/brightening rinse. Finally, drying machines help shine and burnish each piece.” – coinweek.com

The annealing process softens the metal to prepare it for striking. Blank planchets are placed in an annealing furnace that first heats, and then slowly cools the metal.” – numismatics.

How to tell Environmental Damage from an Annealing Error

“To tell the difference between an annealing error, (which happens before striking,) and environmental damage, (which happens after striking), pay attention to the luster of the coin.

Furthermore, the sheen on an uncirculated coin with an annealing error remains visible, whereas corrosion disfigures or destroys luster.” – ngccoin.com

Improperly Annealed Quarter Error

“The copper core (reeding) shows a nice normal red copper color. Furthermore, the planchet displays as darker coloring remaining on the smooth edge of the reeding after the planchet is struck in the collar.

However, when a coin is ejected from the collar, the darker coloring is removed from the ridged reeding. The reeding as a normal red copper color is one of the key identifiers to know,” it’s legit.– Fred Weinberg – cointalk.com

Furthermore, the colors most associated with improperly annealed planchet errors are “copper, red, black, brown, and gray. Coverage can be complete or incomplete.” – error-ref.com

Improperly Annealed Planchet Error Values

Improperly annealed planchet error values depends on a few factors. They’ve sold between $5 and $20 in raw condition on Ebay. This type of mint error can have asking prices higher than a hundred dollars, if it’s been properly authenticated.

A 2003 P Illinois State Quarter improperly annealed sintered planchet error, sold at auction via Great Collections for nearly $20. A 2002 P Mississippi State Quarter Improperly Annealed Sintered Planchet, sold at auction via Great Collections for just $16.00.

The return of investment doesn’t appear worth sending a quarter with an annealing error in for grading. Demand isn’t high for this type of error, so if you find one you’ll profit more by selling it in raw condition.

2018 Michigan Pictured Rocks Quarter Error

Examine pocket change carefully! This camouflage colored 2018 P Michigan Pictured Rocks quarter with an improperly annealed planchet appears to be a dirty coin, but rather is actually a rare mint error.

The copper reeding on the coin wouldn’t be its natural color, and the quarter would be lacking its luster if it was just a normal dirty coin. In other words, you have to look beyond the camouflage!

Rare Coin Plating Errors

Furthermore, I once found what appeared as a 2019 silver painted penny that turned out to be a partial plating error! Learn more about coin production from the United States Mint.

It might well be the last to feature that bust.” – Chris Bulfinch – Coinweek.com

People claim, “It’s a one year type, but there’s millions and millions of them, so they can’t be rare.” However, others are aware of the additional value errors and varieties bring.

Furthermore, these unique coin specimens make collections even rarer, especially those that obtain the highest grades. Moreover, the wear and tear of circulation reduces grades. For instance, populations of the higher grades dwindle down over time, and sometimes sooner than later.

Unique collectible 2021 quarters do sell for a premium. For instance, recent sold listings range from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars on Ebay in raw condition.

2021 Washington Crossing the Delaware Quarter Values

American Woman’s Quarter Program

2021 Washington Crossing the Delaware collectible quarter dollar coins mark the end of an age, and the beginning of a new era. “The circulating coin act of 2020 outlined the quarter’s future after 2021.

Additionally, the common obverse will not feature Flanagan’s long serving bust of Washington. Laura Gardin Fraser’s bust design was chosen by the Commission of Arts in the design competition of 1931. Furthermore, it first appeared on the Washington Bicentennial $5 Gold Eagle in 1999 before replacing the 2021 bust design.” – Coinweek.com

2019 Error Penny: Coin Plating Errors

2019 Shield cent errors and varieties exist! For example, this 2019-D Lincoln cent specimen is a rare partially plated planchet mint error cent coin. Have you found any rare pennies like this 2019 error penny?

Furthermore, it’s known as “incomplete plating,” and “occurs when a zinc cent planchet is not fully coated with copper in the plating bath. As a result, the zinc core remains exposed.” – CoinWorld

For instance, the partially unplated zinc planchet error shows how the copper plating didn’t completely cover the planchet, as seen in the images of this 2019 shield penny error.

“This type of plating error coincides with the introduction of copper-plated zinc cents in 1982.”

“As with any denomination cent weights can vary, with some falling above or below the mean.”

It’s therefore possible to encounter a genuine unplated cent that matches or exceeds the weight of a normal cent.” In other words, this coin weighed about average. Furthermore, the zinc Lincoln cent coin is 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper.

“The copper-plating operation of copper coated zinc planchets is done outside the Mint, by an outside supplier. Partial and 100% unplated cents are much scarcer than many collectors realize.” – Fred Weinberg

Partially Unplated Planchet Error Penny Values

Zinc cent plating planchet errors have attained interest through eye appeal to numerous variety and error coin collectors. For example, a rare 1992-D partially unplated Lincoln cent mint error coin graded MS66 by NGC, sold at auction for $85.00.

A rare 1983 Lincoln Cent Partially Unplated Penny graded MS65, sold at auction for $225.00! Moreover, partially unplated coin errors sell from a few dollars up to thousands, even in raw condition.

Finding One Cent Errors & Varieties

I recommend joining a few coin collecting groups and online coin forums to ask any questions about your coins. You won’t know what you’ve found unless you ask around. The more eyes on your coin the better.

Moreover, the coin hobby isn’t just an activity, it’s a community. Manners matter so be civil! Furthermore, the best chance of finding a doubled die variety coin or error penny just like this exquisite 2019 Lincoln shield cent, is by searching through uncirculated original wrapped bank rolls for them.

Coin Hunting Tips

Additionally, if you’re new to coin collecting, remember to save any wheat pennies you start finding, because you can already trade them in for double their face value in any United States coin shop!

Furthermore, searching 2019 mint sets for varieties and errors ensures a high mint state grade coin. For example, observe a 2003 S Maine proof struck through string state quarter error.

Moreover, some wheat pennies may turn out to be worth far more money, especially if found out to be a rare Cherrypicker, or otherwise famous die variety. For instance, check out this 1957 D RPM Variety Lincoln Wheat Cent.

Watch the examination footage of this 2019 Lincoln shield cent planchet plating coin error in the video above. Then, learn more about “diagnostics of fake and genuine unplated zinc cents,” as discussed by CONECA. Happy hunting!
