infotekkie New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/25/2024 01:26 am I have literally 100s of this coin since purchased a box of unsearched Fed wrapped coins, just this is the only one coming in at that weight and I recalibrated the scale to make sure wasn't a fluke. All the others were 2.52 or mostly a bit lower but this is my stand out one I can't figure out about. I know there is a tolerance and maybe this one falls in that catagory. Photos, I hope, show documenting it. Not sure if this makes it rare, well is to me because of going through 100s and finding only this one that a bit heavy. Looking for any suggestions/comments.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25803 Posts	Posted 01/25/2024 02:29 am Weight of a zincoln should be 2.5 grams with a tolerance of ± 0.1 grams. Your coin is not far enough out of tolerance to be considered extremely unusual. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
