i am sure you have tried other pennies, are they weighing properly, or is it just the one coin, that weighs heavy?

Coin stock rolled a bit thick? I can't remember the Weight Tolerance off the top of my head but seems to be pushing it. Thanks, Doug.

Edit - Was wondering what drew your attention to it. Does it appear thicker or feel heavier? Or do you weight every coin?

It's right on the borderline of the tolerance range 3.11 grams +/- .13 grams gives a maximum tolerance weight of 3.24 grams so it is normal.

Iwannado, seems you got a good eye for details. But think we missed it by that much. Thanks, Doug.
