Here’s a look at the obverse of Young’s coin

Here’s a photograph of the 1983-D homogeneous Copper Alloy cent on Jeff Young’s scale.
On Saturday 1/19/13 he brought the coin to Antiques By Time of Stockbridge, MI,
where I weighed the coin myself, did a visual surface analysis and ring test.
It passed with flying colors! If there is one known so far, are there more?
