2c worth of copper:yes::thumb:

 

You are special.

 

This is a joke, right?

 

its worth a penny. Its not red. Its just copper its now worth 3 cents congrats.

 

Lately, people have been finding worthless coins and making new threads about them. Do some research before you post!

 

Actually 2.63 cents of copper

 

if its red it means ink would have been on it. Its worth the 3 cents because of copper.

 

Mirza, where are you getting this information? A 1937 cent is worth maybe $0.15 in VF

 

Yes where are you getting this information? Because copper cents started 1909-1982. If its copper 1983 it weigh 3.11 grams. And would be worth around 25 cents.

 

Actually, when a cent is graded very high, it could be graded "Red". This cent, however, is no where near the MS-60+ range

 

I didn't know that. You learn something new everyday .

 

Actually, a copper 1983 would be worth a lot more than 25 cents.

 

some where on coin talk I read there where 25,000 copper 1983 made and worth 25 cents- $2.50 .

 

I love your enthusiasm for coins! Red (R) actually refers to a coin that is near mint or uncirculated state and lacks corrosion or damage. The next color down is Red Brown (RB), and the third is Brown (BR). Think of coins in these colors as close to new-looking as possible. Below are examples of each color for a 1982. Hope this helps! May I ask where on the internet you have been doing research? There are links on doubled dies for you on one of your other threads, and we can provide you with many more if you have other interests. Personally I have had great luck with hand rolls and even found a Red Brown 1909 VDB in one (my avatar) as well as several AU (Almost Uncirculated) coins through 1960 and some wheaties. If you'd like some assistance with specific years or varieties send me a PM and I'd love to help you out!

 

Actually ricky there is a thread (my battery is dying so I don't have time to find it) with an article from PCGS stating something to the effect of there may have been less 83 coppers released than the 43 and fast more valuable. Because it is struck on the wrong metal-and more sought after-it starts out in the thousands but could be worth really high dollar depending on how many are found as well as how much collectors are willing to pay at auction. Don't forget to weigh those 83 cents as well as look for the die clashes and doubled dies!

 

That thread sounds pretty familiar...oh yeah, that was my old thread from a few weeks ago. If you can find it, the link is in there. Or just go to pcgs' website and it will be in the news/articles section.
