Have you weighed other coins to compare & make sure your scale is calibrated correctly? W/o pics.... difficult to assess.

3 or 4 cents.

If your scale is accurate, the standard is 3.11g +/- 0.13g - at 3.4 you are slightly heavy, but that standard is generally only 95% of the coins, the other 5% can be heavier or lighter. Plus, there was a war on and nobody sweated the little stuff.
