I'm not even sure what the supposed issue is. Is it the small lump inside the pillars? Why do we have to guess what the question is about?

In any case, I would have guessed plating bubble, but either way it's (almost) nothing.

Another observation, though. All the OP's threads include the weight of the coin in the title. 🤔

That tells me two things. First, the OP has a scale, which is good. Second, he might be regularly weighing random coins, which is not necessary.

Just my opinions...

So, I guess that's a "no" then.

Die chip or plating bubble - can't tell for sure from the pics.

FredWeinberg · August 18, 2023 7:40AM

Small plating bubble, imo

Greenstang · August 18, 2023 10:15AM

I agree with plating bubble. Quite common on zincoins.

I have been looking at my book more and the resources you sent me. My coin microscope is on its last leg doesn't charge anymore without the cord being in a perfect place. Have been using my jewelers loop of lately just bought a large magnifying glass that attaches to my desk. Thanks for the help

Cool, good luck in your studies.

Thanks for your opinions. With the weight I am just being overly precise I guess. I guess if I left something out people would make comments about that too. I think my grandmother would call that nitpicky. But that's okay too she had a good sense of humor.

Weight is generally only an issue in 1982 or if something is way out of whack. Certainly for a question about a design element in the coin, the weight is only relevant if you think it's counterfeit.

I heard 83 and 89 also have weight issues

For 1982 you want to be able to distinguish between bronze and copper (and there is an extremely rare off-metal error in the mix).

For 1983 if you can find a cent minted on a leftover bronze planchet that's a great rarity.

No idea what 1989 would present as an opportunity.

There a 1 in 100 million chance of a 1983 on a bronze planchet. Not worth the time to weigh every 1983 cent. You're better off getting a part time job at 7-11.

Don't fall for the hype. Rare is rare. I knew a guy who searched 1 million cents in a year. He liked it. He found numerous varieties, most of which were unsellable. He found zero true rarities.

If you like weighing all your coins. Have fun. You'll almost definitely never make any money doing it.

LOL so you're saying there's a chance to find one? when I was younger I did a lot of different types of construction work and people would tell me to slow down and stop working so hard. I think the only reason why they told me that was because it made them look bad. I have never sold any coin I have found and don't intend to for a while. I have money and I am only doing this for fun stop taking the fun out of it. LOL

One was found for 1989 d that was struck on a pre-83 planchette

Yep

Lol. Butterflies are flying worms.
Do you advise people to weigh every coin when they are roll searching?

The ones that I don’t take to, I do.

I weighed the last ‘83 I’ll ever weigh again.
I might weigh an ‘82 D SD if I fool myself into thinking it feels heavy in hand, it never is the heavier, though.

No, your advice is fine; yours is a recipe for more time for more fun.

I told you to keep weighing them if you find weighing coins FUN. I merely suggested you stop weighing random coins if you thought it was RELEVANT.

But I don't care. Send them all out for electron microscopy if you want.

You're fine. Yes a lot of people including myself have been duped by silly YouTube videos. And yes I'm a newbie I have said that throughout my other posts. Of lately I have probably only weighed 5 out of the Thousand to 2,000 coins it literally takes about 5 to 10 seconds to do that. I have also learned to not use my microscope so much I got a large magnifying glass I think it's a 4x. I do have an astigmatism so that four times does not help that much I just bought batteries for my jewelers loop the jeweler's Loop seems to work pretty well.
