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.

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.

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.
