I have never measured ones thickness before until just not but I believe 3.1 should be alright. I don't know if the date matters or not but the one I measured was a 1878-S Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/20/2012 10:06 am The problem is that the concept of "thickness", when applied to an item whose thickness varies at any point you choose to measure, doesn't make much sense. If a thickness is specified at all it will be that of the strip or blanks, not the planchets or finished coins. Report this Post to the Staff
