John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 07:56 am While roll searching I came across a 1969 LMC in xf45 condition that weighs 3.0 grams, is that within mint tolerances? If it is an under weight coin what would it's value be? What category of error or variety would it fall under? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 10:28 am nothing extra as an underweight coin because it's within tolerance. That means the "normal" weight of a cent is between 2.98 and 3.24 grams. Outside that range would be worth investigating. And no, I would not keep the coin. It would have to be significantly out of range before I would bother with it. Report this Post to the Staff
