    1983 -d penny 3.1 grams with damage

    I have a 1983-d penny that weighs 3.1 grams I sent it to pcgs to see about getting a transitional designation. It came back as genuine with xf details. Is there any way to get it deemed as transitional with it being damaged. Any help appreciated

    It is something you should approach the third party grading service customer service folks with. Be polite, explain every detail about the experience. Give them your pcgs cert number and ask why they did not believe it was a 1983D copper.

    If a major third party grading service does not say it is a transitional piece, they may have left a note about the coin on paperwork or in your online account.

    The third party grading service may wish to revisit the coin and re-examine it.
    Ask questions about postage, re-holdering (they may break out the coin, and re-slab it).

    They might enlighten you on why it is not. Is it a thicker than normal zinc cent? Was it struck on a wrong planchet ? The third party graging company should have run tests on the coin noting what metals the coin is comprised of. The submission paperwork, what did the paperwork say exactly ?

    A scale is important, but one that goes down to hundredths of a gram (x.xx) are more accurate.

      I'm sorry, but they don't even look like the same coin.

        I think PCGS did exactly what they should have on this coin. It is circulated, scratched and in overall pretty bad shape. In addition, I agree with GCantrell7 in that they do not appear to be the same coin. There is just no way this coin could be authenticated as a transitional.

          I can send better pics of it it is the same coin would just be nice to know if it's copper or zink. I don't have a problem re submitting it. Maybe I filled the paperwork wrong . I'm new to this

            What you have to realize is that there is nothing any of us can do here. The Grading Company is who you need to contact about a coin in their slab. We are just saying that based on the photos, it is difficult to see that they are the same coin. Whether it is or isn't is irrelevant here and it doesn't change the fact that you have to go back to them for questions or regrading. Please let us know if something changes.

              There's no way of knowing that coin is a 1983.
