Hey all, I have taken some pics of the cent in question on a scale, along with another 95 on a scale. The ccent in question was bouncing back and forth between 3.2 and 3.3 grams. I also took side by side picks with my other 95. Unfortunately my other 95 is not in great shape so the comparison is not apples to apples. I do have a 97 that has nice AU details so I took side by side pics with thw 97 as well. Let me know your thoughts. Definitely an interesting cent. Thanks for all the help!

I would recommend that you work out a deal with the LCS: if the coin does not authenticate as genuine by a major TPG, you will be issued a refund in full.

Paralyse, thanks for the great insight. Really interesting, and it helps me learn more about the hobby. I did look on Mr. Snow's website and I saw another 95 that has a mild clash above liberty's eye, similar but not as strong as what is present on this cent. I will attach the pic from Mr. Snow's site. If I was to get the coin authenticated, which TPG would you suggest? Thanks again for the help!

Good research :) PCGS and NGC are the "big two" but ANACS and ICG are less-expensive alternatives. It's just a little extra "peace of mind."
