Mint tolerance is actually +/- 0.13g There are several slightly overweight cents from 1983. Unless they are 95% Copper weighing in at 3.0g or more, they aren't worth more than face value.

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 02/20/2018 12:16 am I run across a few now and then that tip the scale at 2.7g. The US mint doesn't make it's own cent planchets anymore, this could be why they vary so much on newer cents. Report this Post to the Staff
