    Welcome to the forum.

    When you post that image please be sure to show the area of the misspelling as clearly as possible - a closeup would be very helpful. There were over 45.5-million 1883 cents minted, and although the Red Book mentions other varieties for the type, it does not mention any such obvious mistake. :eek:

    If real, it would have had to appear many times - on every coin produced from the flawed die - so it is most likely that it is either damage, deliberate defacement, or an unusual wear pattern. Close examination is needed to tell which. :confused:

    I think thats probably a typo by the OP. Probably just asking about the 83 indian head cent in good condition.

    Can you read the "LIBERTY" on the headband?

    Looks like a classic G-4 to me, no sign of the word "Liberty" on the headband. That makes it worth no more than $2.50 retail IMHO.

    Well, that makes it worth quite a bit, wouldn't you agree? :)

    How about posting pictures of your old paper money? :cool:
