Circulated examples typically retain their face value of one cent. However, uncirculated coins in mint-state (MS) grades can cost from $0.10 to over $50. \n\nFor error coins, the value climbs even higher. For instance, a doubled-die error can command hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Additionally, pristine uncirculated examples in MS 67 or higher grades are uncommon and can be expensive. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdetails>\u003Cdetails class=\"faq__item\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\u002F\u002Fschema.org\u002FQuestion\">\u003Csummary class=\"faq__summary\">\u003Ch3 itemprop=\"name\">Can I Use an App to Identify 1983 Cent Errors?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003C\u002Fsummary>\u003Cdiv class=\"faq__content\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\u002F\u002Fschema.org\u002FAnswer\">\u003Cp itemprop=\"text\">Absolutely!
