  • I mis-spoke in this video. You're not looking for a 1983 Zinc Planchet. You're looking for the 1983 copper planchet which weighs about 3.11 grams. Copper planchets weren't supposed to be minted after 1982.

      @bjanks00 I just re-watched the video. What I meant is the 95% copper penny for 1983 is an error. This is substantiated by the conversation about the weight difference. I wasn’t clear in the video. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I’ll pin our conversation for clarification. Thanks @Bryan Jellick

      @@MintMiser you say a 1983 copper plated zinc planchet is an error. That is incorrect. That is the norm. By 1983, P & D pennies should have all transitioned to the lighter (2.5g) copper plated zinc planchet. Finding a 1983, P or D on a bronze planchet(3.1g) would be rare. Both bronze and copper plated zinc 1982 P&D are common . Finding the rarer '82- D small date on bronze takes some discernment but is also rare. So get your scales and your magnifying glass.

    Your "copper plated zinc cent" is NOT the error. A BRONZE planchet (copper- 95%) is the transition error. Might want to edit your narrative.

    Ok they transitioned to copper platted zinc planchetts that year ,thus transitioning from solid copper plachetts ,which were actually being phased out in 1982 .. that aside ... I believe you mean that instead of the 1983 LC being a compisition of zinc plancehetts covered in copper ,dont you mean that the error your attempting to explain is solid copper planchetts mint printed by mistake instead of zinc core copper covered planchetts?

  • @StephanieArmstrong-cm4rj

    Also they were getting a premium for a high grade ms67+ there are no examples Ms 70 or Ms 69 as far as I know . They only fetch around $3,000 to $4,000 and those have to be Ms 66+ and red

    Yeah I think I would take this video down before your reputation goes down with it! I'm thinking you may have misspoken when recording this video since It's not the "rare 1983 copper plated zinc error" that you say they accidentally let get through the mint. When actually all pennies from 1983 were supposed to be made of copper plated zinc and weigh in at 2.5g. So with this being the case, somehow a few rare 1983 copper pennies were accidentally stamped on copper planchets weighing 3.1g from the prior year before the change had been made. And if you find one in........

    • @MintMiser
      @MintMiser  Před 11 měsíci +1

      @stevenvanover7650 - Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I did mis-speak. I need to pay closer attention when reviewing videos prior to publishing. 1982 is when the transition from mostly copper to mostly zinc began. Copper pennies which weigh 3.11 grams are the rare error. The Lincoln Cent in the video is actually a copper penny dated 1983 and it sold for $23,500 at auction. I'll leave the video up for an hour or so for you to see my acknowledgement, then I'll remove the video. Thanks again Steven!
