Sorry but the coin was plated. This is pretty common too.

to CCF Daniel, looks like an error to me, but no expert here. I have coins the feel and look like would NOT weigh the same as a cooper or zinc penny, but every time they weigh. I also have one that has a large Cud across 1/3 of its obverse and it still weighs 3.11 as it is cooper, not zinc @ 2.5. Again, welcome !

Connicoins,
The mint does have a tolerance they go by and if a coin fall within that tolerance it is ok to leave the mint. Your coin with a large Cud that weights 3.11g...it's the right amount of copper it is just configured differently within the coin.(Take a can of playdough,say 4 oz and mush it in to different shapes it will still weight 4 oz.)
