@coinclue: A 1983 penny deserves a weight check—not a wild guess. 🪙 Normal zinc cents weigh about 2.50 g; an unusual copper-planchet cent is around 3.11 g. NGC reports an MS61 RB example selling for $4,800 through Heritage in 2020. That is one historical sale, not a price for every 1983 penny. A scale reading alone does not authenticate the metal or the error.
