coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/28/2018 3:33 pm Have you checked other Wheat cent to see if the scale is zeroed? Report this Post to the Staff
Gregory Hess Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 06/28/2018 3:36 pm Yes, It's Brand New. Sorry But It's A Wheatie And Not A LMC. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/28/2018 3:41 pm Still should be 3.11. You've tried other cents on it correct? Zinc 2.5 Steel 2.7 Copper 3.11. So it is not showing every coin weighing that? Report this Post to the Staff
Gregory Hess Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 06/28/2018 3:53 pm Yes. Zinc 2.5-2.98. Coppers 2.98- 3.25. Still the 1953 weighs out at 3.29-3.30? Scale is working fine.It's brand New. I have another wheatie weighing in at 3.28 also? Report this Post to the Staff
Gregory Hess Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 06/28/2018 3:54 pm The Steel 1943 Weighs in at 2.63. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74703 Posts	Posted 06/28/2018 3:58 pm Yeah, it's still within the Mint tolerances. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Gregory Hess Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 06/28/2018 4:04 pm What are the Full scale tolerances, for Zinc & Coppers, so I know. All I know at this point is, Zinc 2.5 +/- 11 Coppers 3.11 +/- 13. Report this Post to the Staff

Sorry, not the full scale, I'm in copy paste mode right now. +/- .13 grams, (1873 - 1982) small cent copper era, same tolerance for the 1943 zinc-plated steel cents. +/- .10 grams, (1982 - present) for copper-plated zinc. Subject coin seems slightly over weight or coin stock rolled thick. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 06/28/2018 6:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Gregory Hess Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 06/28/2018 6:50 pm It just seems a little beyond the tolerance? Same thickness as all the other coins. Nothing Rolled & Not A Dryer Coin. Came out of a collection its been in since the 50's. It's Clean, Straight Up New! Just want to know what's up with it. Guesses don't count. Report this Post to the Staff

Might read up on rolled thin and rolled thick stock or material used for coin blanks.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/28/2018 7:13 pm Displays significant grease effects - could this be a factor? Report this Post to the Staff
Gregory Hess Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 06/28/2018 8:38 pm Yes, Same Coin. 3 stacked, it's center. BowTie is in layers? Other photos to show the edges.Is it considered Rolled or just thicker planchet? Before I throw it away thought I would have the Pros take a look. TY! Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 06/28/2018 8:55 pm Quote: Rolled or just thicker planchet? If the stock material is rolled thick and a blank is produced during the blanking process from the rolled thick material, is basically saying the planchet produced after going through the upset mill or process is still thick, therefore the coin will naturally be heavier or weight more due to the extra material it started with. Break it down another way, if it starts out as a blank weighting 3.32 grams, then logically it will end up as a struck coin weighting 3.32 grams. Pending it stays in tack. Thanks, Doug.
