Yes. It's called a transitional off-metal mint error.
Most of us know this. Do you have one?

Here is a good example on Ebay at this moment

 

There's also brass plated and that will cause lots of issues, with people thinking they have a copper one .

what about a 1983 d Lincoln cent that weighs 1.6 grams?

 

Images please.

 

My local coin dealer gave me this cent because he knows I collect error coins and he is a great dealer (Doelgers Galley of Coins in Warren, NJ). It appears to have extra metal stuck in. At first I thought the rim had split, but a closer look showed this extra metal.

 

What does it weigh? And a picture of the back. Cant tell from picture but does it have copper anywhere?

 

Wow is all I know to say.

 

I don’t know where I put it! I will look for it and weigh it and photo the reverse when I find it. Might be a while.

 

I wonder how the 0 in the date got properly formed.

 

I just wonder why it got posted in this old thread.

 

The thread was not old when I posted it!

 

Would be best to start a new thread on this one.

 

Sorry. I was not clear. I was just saying that you should have started your own thread a year ago. By posting it in this thread, you didn't get a reply for almost a year. Your post got lost.
Your coin is a bit cool. I'm not sure what it is. You should start a new thread about it. I'll bet you get several more replies.

 

Ok, thanks. When I find it I will take new photos of both sides and start a new post.

 

do you have one of them???

 

One of them what? Please clarify.

 

I was wondering if the person who started this post had a 1983 copper error penny

 

Oh, ok. Thanks.
