I have calibrated the scale and used another and both say 2.72gr. Pretty neat I understand not within the tolerance of a Copper penny but still a clean heavy penny. Thought I'd share been a awhile.

No, it's not rolled thick as I do have a few that are. When I get home I will do a comparison of 2 84's side by side as well as pic from the side. Report this Post to the Staff

FsdWarp10 Pillar of the Community United States 719 Posts	Posted 02/19/2026 9:17 pm will be interesting to see what this ends up being. Would be very cool if it was a copper 1984 cent! Don't think I have ever heard of one of these before. More than likely a zinc cent that is a little heavier than normal. Report this Post to the Staff

More than likely a zinc cent that is a little heavier than normal. would be cool but Weight Tolerance for it to be a copper I belive the min is 2.98 even if it is not still a neat find in my book or should I say "books" Here are some more photos I will try to get better one's for the 2 that are sitting flat on the table. I will work on better lighting. Arrow represent the heavier coin. Report this Post to the Staff
