Coppergold Pillar of the Community United States 939 Posts	Posted 10/17/2017 03:23 am Weigh it a few times. Whatever number pops up the most is the number I go by. If its 3.1 grams, or very close to it, it's normal. Make sure when you weigh it, that you take the coin off after you get the number, press the tare button, and weigh it again. You can find scales at smoke shops if you can't find one. I do know that your 1980 cent is a woody error, also known as improper mixture of alloys But honestly the rim looks very fat and tall, and that may mean that the edge was pounded maybe by a hammer.
