<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Frannyfirl1010, post: 7760396, member: 122041&quot;]According to Ken Potter (Koinpro.tripod.com) who is a leading expert in error coins:</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>1983 &quot;Brass Plated Strikes&quot; 1c</b> 1983 cents struck on &quot;brass plated planchets&quot; were confirmed by the Mint officials and that information published in Coin World&#039;s, May 23, 1983 Collector&#039;s Clearinghouse written by Marilyn Van Allen). These are very similar to the 1985-D &quot;brass plated strikes&quot; offered below but these seem to be of a plating composition closer to the type of brass known as Tombac (being almost iridescent yellowish-green rather than the solid yellow of th1985-D issue).</p><p><br /></p><p>They were also issued in 1985-D, 1997 and 1997-D, and 1998 so you are correct. They are a different composition. On Ken&#039;s website he is selling them from $25 to over $150 (depending on grading, etc). Hope you kept it!
