I have a rather unremarkable Ike dollar that consistently weighs in at 23 grams on numerous scales. Which is, as I understand it, above tolerance. The rim of the coin is also a slightly unusual color when compared with typical Ike's—sort of a brassy color rather than orange-copper.

Is this a typical weight variance on such a large coin? I've heard people question 2.8, let alone 3.

to the CCF!

The weight should be 22.68 grams for a clad "Ike" so 23 would be within tolerance (+/-0.53) if I have the correct information. I'm checking my numbers right now.

Correction to the tolerance. It should be +/-0.907 grams, so your coin is within tolerance. The range is 21.773 to 23.587. (I hope jbuck isn't too mad at me.)

NOW I hope I'm correct!

I thought it was only .52 for clad. Here's a photo of the rim. It's the one in the middle. The color variance is, admittedly, nothing to get excited about. Just curious in combination with the weight.
