OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 09/17/2014 09:49 am so its a normal cent just on the low end of the tolerance... I was hoping to find one of those heavy brass ones... just only had 1 out of almost 2 rolls all where around 3.6 - 3.10 grams Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/17/2014 5:42 pm Figure in coin wear from circulation, then that would be figured in as well reducing the weight. Ever notice how thin the AG coin look when they have been in circulation for a long time. Also acid dipping can reduce the weight/thickness of coins. Report this Post to the Staff
