Well not an expert, but I think a lot of things were common on the 1983 penny. If I found one off center like this with the tops of letters...

Yep - I see it now. That big curly thing is an L and not a 1. Still nice coin!
Very sweet indeed. Nice coin.

I know they are common, but this is one of the few with that I have found. All of these are on the same 1983. On the reverse there is three...
I would keep it - even if only worth 50 cents. Cool find.
