1972 D Lincoln Cent Unc. Short Weight

if the scale is accurate then the coin is somewhet underweight, and might carry a small premiumn from people who collect these

I assume the diameter is normal and it is rolled thin?

Possibly the 6:00 obverse and 12:00 reverse may be thinner on those areas of the planchet? It would be slight though. Look at the rim are these opposite sides of the coin:






Areas will be weakened on the affected areas of the design. (Polished dies are not the result of this. weight going in and out will be the same pre/post strike)

CoopHome: What makes a coin weigh less than normal? reduced thickness of the planchet. not seen often, I wonder if they flatten the edge of the beginning of the rolls, making these planchets thinner on just that area of the blanks?
