Hello I'm Dave I've been collecting coins for a few years now I make sure to check my pocket change consistently I've got a good collection of pennies this way. I found a 1982 D penny that appears to have what looks a 7 hanging from the bottom of the 8 could be my eyes playing tricks on me lol.

Would not a be a 7 that is impossible. Sounds like a die chip or plating issue but images are very important.

Thanks for the images but it is really hard to see any details when I enlarge them.

Usually this is the result of a contact mark pushing the metal around. If you look with a magnifying lens you will probably see scrapes and movement.

I agree, these images are too fuzzy for me to give you a 100% attribution here. :dunno

Sorry they were taken with my cellphone I'll try to take some better ones. I'll just set it aside as an oddity. Thank you for your input everybody.

Trying to clean up your pictures, ... I'll guess that this is a "gouge" on the lower part of the 8.

Looks like a possible die chip or plating disturbance that is common. Please watch my video on taking coin images. It will teach how to hold the camera and to crop and rotate images

It's is a very large gouge mark into the coin so it's post mint damage.

Thanks for persevering to get the images posted.
Definitely a strong contact mark after it was minted.
