John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 07:28 am The pic with the scale shows both coins at the same weight? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
TaeKenDo Pillar of the Community Canada 737 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 08:00 am They are. But if I shaved off the excess metal on the rim, that would drop the weight. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 08:27 am But without the copper plate it should weigh less now? If you shave the edge it should weigh even less? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 10:59 am I acquired one of these cents a long time ago & ended up throwing it away. I presumed it was melted with a blow torch. Report this Post to the Staff
TaeKenDo Pillar of the Community Canada 737 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 3:56 pm I agree John1 but by how much less. My digital scale only measures to 1 decimal place. The coating might not make that much of a difference weight wise. Also, not sure how precise the scale is... Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 4:47 pm Yea,I know what you mean. The scale has to go down to at least .001 and even then you have to factor in the mints tolerance for weight +/- .13g. John1 Edited by John1 05/16/2015 4:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
