I have an 1884 Indian Head penny that weighs 2.78 grams. All the information I've read about this coin says that it should weigh 3.11 grams. I'm fairly new to coin collecting so I don't know a whole lot about it. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

The weight when newly minted would have been 3.11g. Wear and other factors would reduce this weight. Can you show us full pics of both sides, please.



to the CCF!
