1983 'B' penny

[Lydia.]

Today while looking at pennies, I came across a 1983 penny with a mint mark of denver or Philly, to me it looks like a B. I know there is no B mint. Is this a sort of error? All specs and sizes of a mal penny. 2.9 weight, penny sized.

Thanks

Looks to me like an extra material error on a D mint, at least from his angle...you should google the errors for that year

There looks to be a gouge on the rim. That penny may have been damaged by being caught under something heavy.

The tail of the 9 is missing. Worth a trip to a local coin shop.

Have a coin shop look at the coin and do some internet research on any errors.
