zookeeperz Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 694 Posts	Posted 09/22/2018 1:36 pm Hi guys and gals. Is there any valid reason why my 1930-S Lincoln Wheat cent weighs 2.95 grams? Even with wear I couldn't see it losing such amount of weight. It is also thinner than the normal planchet. @ 1.46mm. If anyone has any idea why there are these differences or any explanation I would be most grateful. T.I.A. 19.08mm 1.46mm 2.45gram Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/22/2018 5:20 pm Weight Tolerances are 3.11gr +/-.13gr...meaning low side would be 2.97gr, well within given tolerance and scale differences/wear factors. Width is immaterial, that will change with pressures of strikes either forcing more or less to run up inside the collar. Does anyone know where these guys trying to find these weight problems get their ideas? Youtube or a book? Report this Post to the Staff

zookeeperz Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 694 Posts	Posted 09/22/2018 6:16 pm You should research a bit more and not be such a . UK coin tolerances are a lot tighter than the US. Is why I asked the question. Name calling and personal attacks are not tolerated on this forum, be civil. Consider this you one and only warning--echizento Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/22/2018 9:14 pm Hey zookeeper - C'mon. We are talking about US Mint Tolerances for a US coin. UK tolerances are irrelevant. Edited by Coinfrog 09/22/2018 9:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
