    Not sure if this is an error or not... It's a 1983 penny

    Looks like damage to me, the edge of the 8 took a hit.

    It's just so straight, I've been looking at all kinds of damaged lettering and numbers and the all have a mark of it being moved not so exact with nothing where it originally should have been

    There are billions and billions of coins in circulation, and there are just as many ways that coins can be damaged. This is just one of them. It really helps to have a better understanding of the minting process so you won't waste too much time with coins like this.

    First of all welcome to CT, in the future when you post a coin post both sides of the coin.
    It will help those of us who are trying to help you, and in return it will help you because you will be able to get a definite answer.
    It's a damage coin as stated above.
