Oddities - 1983 Spoon Three
Oddities - Spoon Three
Many coins in circulation show odd variations from the intended strikes. There are 1983 Lincoln cents with the flattened bottom of the three. Since I have located around 20 samples, the oddity or variety is from a hub or a working die that was worn or damaged.

Are these valuable? I don’t know if I should save them or not.

They are not valuable since it is not recognized as a variety like the 1964 Pointed and Blunt Roosevelt dime. If there was enough publicly and collectors sought the variation it would gain reaction as a variety. Rarity is key, and I have no idea how many of these are in circulation. At one time in the early 1960s, the 1960-D small date cent had added value. Today the 1960-D small date has no added value for the small date. Maybe if I write an article and get it published, it might start the ball rolling.

I'd call it the Salvador Dali date variety. It shore does drip!

How much does it cost?

$.01 since it is not recognized by any Numismatic organization at this time. I need to write an article, get it published, then see what happens. It is similar to the 1964 Roosevelt dime with a blunt and pointed end.
