I'll be weighing the 83's too from now on when I do my measly hand sorting.

Darn...and I was going to get you that as a surprise for your birthday yesterday, doc....

Where there's one, there's bound to be two or three or five. Just imagine what one graded MS63 or 64 would fetch.

One night a couple years back, after long hours hand sorting, I found an '83 that looked peculiar. I put it aside, finished the roll I was working on, then went to the kitchen countertop for my balance beam/scale. With a shiny new 2011 as my counterweight I placed the '83 on the other side and it sank like an anchor.

A few heart palpitations later I realized I grabbed the wrong penny. Aaaarrrrgggg!!

I did not know there was such an animal, interesting!

I hand sort and since I set the 1982s aside to weight them I do the same for the 1983s. No luck yet, but you just never know. Also have been throwing the 1983-P in a pile to check for double die at some time in the future.

Good idea! Do you also seperate out other zinc years to check for errors?

Anyone got $10,000 I can borrow?

Here is another variety that one us should find sooner or later.

Looking closely during your sorts could pay off BIG.

I predict this goes for over $25k. I saw one mentioned in one of the coin magazines a few years ago that was in better condition and went for over $100k.

I have only been saving the 83P cent to check for double die because I am already seperating them to check weight.

Anyone have knowledge of how many 83 bronzes are known?

This guy says a 1989 exists as well http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/w ... t_turns_up

The article talks about a 1983 Jefferson nickel struck on a bronze planchet - http://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/1983-d-5 ... 143-5579.s .... wonder what that baby went for?

What did this end up selling for? How much was the buyers fee on top of that? I don't want to have to provide my personal info to Heritage to sign in and see it, so if someone else already has a login ID and password and can pass the amount onto the rest of us, that would be appreciated.

$16,450.00

Not bad for a coin found in circulation.

Wow- thanks!
