DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9875 Posts	Posted 07/24/2013 02:29 am I believe they are supposed to weigh 5.67 grams. How much do they actually weigh? What range is possible? "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 07/24/2013 03:14 am In what condition? Fresh from the mint, the variation should be very small, perhaps a tenth of a gram ; but a circulated copper could be worn quite a bit. Silver pieces were typically withdrawn after they had lost some amount of weight (in the US, 5%), but coppers when the date became indistinguishable. Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 07/24/2013 08:14 am I would say 5.67g like it's Australian counterpart: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1564.html http://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/...nwealth-coin mentions 5.11g to 5.90g as the weight range for some Australian mule halfpennies, but I think quality control would have been higher at The Royal Mint and the weight range would have been tighter.
