JG2000 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 9:18 pm i just purchased one of these in VF+ condition. The thing that concerns me is it weighs only 10.1 grams. This is way off the 10.89 grams it should be. It is 27.6mm in diameter and 2.27mm thick. Is this fake or real? Report this Post to the Staff

JG2000 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 9:30 pm Thanks for your reply. I am rather new to Large Cent collecting. Is this kind of weight variance typical? What would you grade this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
