<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Anatoliy Omelchenko, post: 26739462, member: 167747&quot;]I recently had this 1983 Lincoln cent evaluated by PCGS and it was attributed as struck on a defective bronze planchet weighing 2.87 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>Originally I submitted the coin to NGC where it was encapsulated simply as AU Details (scratched), without the mint error being identified. Because the weight and surfaces seemed unusual to me, I later submitted it to PCGS where the bronze planchet was confirmed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse also shows a very pronounced granular surface consistent with porosity in the planchet, which partially obscures the FG designer initials.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be very interested to hear thoughts from error collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin will be appearing in an upcoming GreatCollections auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
