Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 11:11 am Minimum legal tolerance weight for a copper alloy cent is 2.89 grams. Your coin is somewhere from .04 to .15 below tolerance. (I am assuming you scale just reads to tenths of a gram.) This is not significant enough to justify a premium value. Get it down to 2.5 and you might start developing some interest. Edited by Conder101 08/12/2019 11:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
