1983 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - RIDB-1c-1983-04R Retained Interior Die Break
Error
Description
Cuds on Coins lists this 1983 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial cent as RIDB-1c-1983-04R, a retained interior die break on the reverse die. The code breaks down as retained interior die break, cent, 1983 with no mint letter, sequence 04, and R for reverse. A piece of the reverse die face away from the rim has broken free but remains boxed in by the die around it, generally sinking a fraction into the die. On struck coins it stands as a raised island that keeps its share of the design, with an abrupt step down to the design around it.
