I'm thinking that its time to have a Forum Mom or Dad take a first hand look at this coin. Possibly Fred Weinberg.

Did he perhaps mean 0.1 ounces? (about 2.8 grams?)

IMO, a postal scale is only accurate enough for mail, not a coin- they are calibrated for weighing multi-ounce packages, not coins that weigh a few grams.

No he said .1 grams, its a feather weight can hardly tell you have it in your hand, the guy who weighted it was very surprised.

Aluminum cent should be .93 grams, so pretty close.

.1 grams ("point one grams", or 1/10th gram) is nothing. It cannot weigh that little.
