grins New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 10/14/2019 3:59 pm just trying to learn here with a question. I have this rough cent, but what I really want to know is, it weighs 2.8 grams, 1942 date. Was there some 42's that had a short weight? Or is because of this coins condition. * Private information removed by Staff.

John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 37106 Posts	Posted 10/14/2019 7:22 pm You need to also figure in mint tolerance of +/- .13 grams.Also circulation wear,a rolled thin planchet etc. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 5+ Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 17875 Posts	Posted 10/15/2019 6:02 pm Coinfrog is right. Corrosion weight loss most probably due to ground burial. Ancient bronze coins recovered from ground burial, (after washing the mud off), often look like this. Report this Post to the Staff
