Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 01/03/2025 3:38 pm Again, within/close to regular mint tolerance for weight. No real added value. Average circulated condition '34 & '39. Report this Post to the Staff
Heathx1 New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 01/03/2025 3:45 pm As far as I know tolerance is 0.13 off 3.11 which makes these 0.29 off. Also curious why pcgs attributes the 2.8 if within tolerance? Just trying to learn, thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 01/03/2025 3:54 pm Heath, Please share your findings from PCGS. Another possible likely reason for slightly lighter than normal weight would be a rolled thin planchet. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 01/03/2025 4:31 pm Not much quality control back in the 30's. The mint isn't going to scrap a whole roll of coin stock just for being a bit off of tolerance - 2.98 to 3.24. Even though a under or over weight planchet is considered an "error" - it has to be a "large enough" difference to be worth any kind of premium. Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 01/03/2025 4:33 pm If they weighed 2.82 g in uncirculated condition then there might be some interest but as they show average circulation wear, it is no big deal. The planchet was probably near the lower limit and then add in wear and its underweight. Also, just because a scale can read to 0.01 g doesn't mean that that is the scale's accuracy. Quite often, and probably in most cases, a scale's readability is better that its accuracy. Report this Post to the Staff
