@MaryG, first welcome to CCF. The only thing that I would add to what is stated above is that you mentioned that the coin is underweight, but the scratches shown wouldn't typically account for such a loss of material. Can you please post in-focus pics of both sides of this coin (and while you are at it, double-check that your scale is accurate with another post-1982 cent)? Thx.
