The weight for the copper Cents is 3.1 grams. So both Coins are close, it could be your scales. Or one Cent could be a little worn and the other a little dirt (extra weight)

There is a tolerance of .12g on cents so anything between 2.99 g and 3.23g
are within the acceptable range.

.13 grams +/- is the mint tolerance on older cents and .10 on newer ones.
