Spence Moderator United States 34539 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 1:13 pm @sup, it is best practice to start a new thread for each coin so that we can give them the attention that they deserve. For these Three Cents, the middle one is most interesting to me. Can you please give us the weight? I suspect that it is a detached lamination and therefore would be underweight. Thx.

Super Dude New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 1:18 pm Oh ok, I posted all 3 at once cause I worried about spamming. The weight of the middle one is 3.1 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34539 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 1:26 pm Ok no problem at all--for your future threads, please keep them to one coin each. Thx. As far as the '74 cent goes, that doesn't seem very low in weight, so maybe I'm wrong. Let's see what others think as they see this thread and respond.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 4:39 pm The 74 looks like it might have been a clam shell that someone has removed. But I don't know why it would be a different color. Unless the impurities that caused the clam shell were that color. Report this Post to the Staff
