A1agrl Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted 05/14/2024 2:05 pm I have two questions... Is this a floating roof penny? The FG is very obscured, as if Struck Through Grease. Also, is the weight of the penny (3.01 grams) correct ? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

A1agrl Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted 05/14/2024 2:31 pm I just verified that the average weight of the 1969D penny should be 3.11 grams. So the weight of this coin (3.01 grams) is rather low. Perhaps I should use another scale? Your opinions please... thank you Report this Post to the Staff
igwt79 Pillar of the Community United States 1503 Posts	Posted 05/14/2024 2:48 pm Floating roof is just an excessively polished die. Some collect them, but I don't think they have any premium. As for the weight, it is within mint tolerance, for copper cents it is +/- .13 grams. If you like it, keep it! Only costs you 1 cent. Report this Post to the Staff
