Description
1983 Cent, MS61 Red and Brown
Struck on a Bronze Planchet
1983 1C Lincoln Cent -- Transitional, Struck on a Bronze
Planchet -- MS61 Red and Brown NGC. 3.1 grams. The Lincoln cent
transitioned from copper alloy to copper-plated zinc during 1982.
Similar to the famous 1943 copper cent, some planchets of the
obsolete composition were struck by the next year's dies. The most
offered explanation for a transitional alloy error is a planchet
stuck in a crevice of a bin used to transport a large number of
planchets to the dies. The planchet is eventually dislodged from
the bin and coined, after newly dated dies are installed. Our
online archives show only three prior Heritage auction appearances
of 1983 copper cents, most recently in August 2014. This is a well
struck and unworn light mahogany example with hints of forest-green
patina near the rims.
