1991 penny has 199

Enough to prove that the reverse is a square strike, meaning it's a misaligned die as opposed to off-center. Little its of evidence from various places, adding up to a picture.

Now, is that much off-centering enough to weaken what features we see weakened? Yes, if at the same time there was a bit of a tilt to the die as well. Not "proven" but "plausible."

Could that 83D be a RPM?

 

PEOPLE FROM SOUTH FLORIDA BUY THESE..............

 

Next time I work as a vendor at the South Florida Fair maybe I will sell some of these interesting coins! JK!

 

When an RPM is described as "tilted" (or sometimes "rotated"), it is not because the primary mintmark itself is tilted like the OP's coin, but because the repunching (secondary) overlaps and is so close that a direction (north, south, east west, northeast, southwest, etc, etc) cannot be used to describe it.

With that said, I cannot see any evidence of repunching on her coin.

 

That must be down in the Conch Republic.

I submitted photos of this 1983 D penny to John Wexler and he sent me an email back with submission information. What do you think? Does he sound interested to you? Should I submit the coin?

 

Yes and yes

 

No.

 

Why, May I ask? I would like to know opinions and knowledge of things I don't know. What would you do?

 

I have the impression of the 1983-D that the "doubling" is split plating, and an inconsequential feature as a result. The "doubling" looks to be all zinc colored.

 

Of course you may...

For one, I see nothing on the coin that indicates a variety. Second, if he just sent the form and didn't mention the coin, I would take it as a generic response. You're certainly not the first person who has sent him photos, and it's probably safe to say he gets it a lot from people looking for a free attribution (not saying you are, but put yourself in his shoes). He offers the service for a reason.

If your only concern is the tilting of the mintmark, it isn't a big deal. Perhaps this will help though...

Scroll about 40% of the way down to the 64-D dime and read the paragraph directly under its description. He explains what "tilted" means in regards to RPMs.

 

OK, I see what you are talking about. On mine, there is the slight peeling on the bottom of the D. The D otherwise looks almost perfect and not smashed down from wear. The pictures don't show great detail. I don't have a computer, so I can't get a digital camera for coins to post better pictures.
