That is the proper weight but there is a slight tolerance, which your coin falls within. post 1982 pennies are lighter. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/25/2019 11:17 am Your coin is .03 grams out of tolerance which isn't significant If you find one that weighs 3.6 or 7 then you have something worth a reasonable premium. It can't be a proof because only Philadelphia made proofs back then, and other than the odd color (which is probably from on old cleaning or something) there is nothing that would even suggest it is not a regular planchet.
