Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 06/10/2018 7:33 pm I have a 1983 P LMC cent that weighs 2.70 grams. It's in extremely good condition and my thought is it is heavily plated. Am I assuming correct? There is a side by side pic with another 1983 P LMC. The one in question is the cent on the left.
