1983 cents are all copper plated zinc. That makes the likelihood of many suspect errors similar in appearance to yours to be a plating issue, and not an error, such as an internal die chip.
The images provided are not clear enough for me do make a sound judgement either way. I would advise taking it to a meeting of a local numismatic or coin club. They can help. You could also ask at a local coin shop.
Time for more coffee.
