Yorkish Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 10:08 am I second that, should be somewhere around 3.1 grams. I have a plated Wheat cent that looks kind of like this, I had the advantage of some of the plating on mine has come off though lol you have to take the long road and weigh it :( Edited by Yorkish 02/01/2021 10:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
csands1183 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 10:13 am If it is plated will it weigh 3.1, is that because a normal copper 1980 penny would be 3.1? If it is not 3.1 what does that mean, just out of curiosity. Report this Post to the Staff
