I hate navigating SB website…
Was unable to locate it.

WTB... errors, New Orleans gold, and circulated 20th key date coins!

It looks like it did not meet its $10,000 reserve

I imagine buying this coin and showing it to family and friends and telling them how much I paid, and why..
They already roll their eyes and twirl their fingers around their temples at beautiful, 200 year old gold and silver coins that cost less than this penny, which looks like it would get nearly hopelessly lost in my coffee can of pocket change.

Maybe I should resume the search for the 1992.
How did this one slip past me?
Does anyone know how this was found? Surely there's not someone out there weighing all their 1983 cents...
You would be surprised. In fact, I believe that is exactly how at least one of those was found. I do the same thing. I have two piggy banks...one for cents and one for the rest. I eventually go through all the cents pulling out certain dates, then I look for whatever I am looking for on that date. For example, it you search my posts going back to earlier this year, you will note I found a 1984 doubled die obverse cent by doing this. Doubled ear plain as day. It is in my pile of stuff to get graded.

Very interesting Rampage! That would seem to me to indicate that there might be a lot of these--what would be the odds that one of the few folks searching would find one, if not.
Gonna go weigh some cents...
if you follow the numis publications (various) you will read about a few folks that search countless coins (from banks, etc) and turm up some major stuff.
the list is respectably big of cool stuff to look for and so is the patience and dedication it takes.
ive posted 1-2 threads and have responded to a couple re this type of stuff. the archives here are priceless and available 24/7/365.

The pictures are broken for the link above along with this other 1983 copper cent that was sold in 2/14
Maybe I was wrong this one did find the sucker.

I see no reason to belittle any niche of this hobby for anyone.
It's the same thing as the celebrated 1943 copper cent, just not as obvious because steel is of course a different color.

Wow $22.3K
I sold one a few years ago, but it was for far less than they are selling for nowadays.

Looks can drive popularity. The eight 2009-PD bronze cents from that year's mint set each have a lower mintage than the 1931-S (and are type coins to boot), yet sell for slightly over $1.00 per coin. Aside from being "satin finish," they look identical to the regular cents for that year.
"The right sucker." What an idiotic remark from Winky. We all collect different things, and as Baley pointed out, the prices we pay for our little hobby is often looked down upon by those who don't collect coins.
