jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 1514 Posts	Posted 05/13/2022 02:26 am It is a normal Wheat cent. Weight is good, given it is worn and corroded. Report this Post to the Staff
Coolmobd New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 05/13/2022 05:23 am No sir, that ain't the case. The very lightest this coin could possibly be? Is 2.98 grams. -or+ .12 either direction. And it's not much corroded so what's up with it? Report this Post to the Staff
Mrhakfbacon Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 05/13/2022 06:51 am It's a normal Wheat cent, the lower weight is from circulation wear. Report this Post to the Staff
Mrhakfbacon Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 05/13/2022 06:51 am However it is a slightly lower montages date Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Pillar of the Community United States 8017 Posts	Posted 05/13/2022 07:25 am Given the photos posted, I'm seeing a well worn '16 S Wheat cent. I've come across a few thousand of these early cents (worn and 'light') over several decades of collecting/searching. Highly likely this coin began life at the lower end of the weight tolerance limit, and circulation wear has reduced it further. Just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Pillar of the Community United States 9800 Posts	Posted 05/13/2022 07:26 am 2.98 grams would be the minimum allowable weight as struck at the mint in 1916. 3.11 grams +/- 0.13 grams. Weighing 2.83 grams with that level of wear is completely normal. About a 5% loss from the mint's minimum tolerance. 9% below nominal. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 57332 Posts	Posted 05/13/2022 3:20 pm Circulation wear is probably the cause of most of the issue. The 1916 Cents, Dimes had a stronger design on them: Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use and I'm glad to say, you can now you can see the DVD in sections on youtube: 1.
