Eager to to see pics--large and sharp. Consider that the coin may be within the lower side of the Weight Tolerance envelope. Also, significant wear will reduce the weight. Always fun. |

We really need pictures, not a video.
Also the weight should be to two decimal points, not one.
With the +- tolerance, it is pretty close to the accepted weight.

Likely worn down enough to lose approximately 0.2 grams, down from around 3.1 grams originally. That's about a 6 to 7% loss.

If the coin was not worn, what would be your opinion?

Can you post up an image of the edge of the coin - sided by side with a normal weight cent?

This is the 1944 S 2.9 beside 1977 3.1  |

My wild guess here would be about $2.00 in value. It would be an ok "filler" coin for a set. Like I said, this is just a wild guess. I have many, many older cents with little value. I don't see anything on the coin that would raise it's value.

If it's underweight at all it is so little that it wouldn't add any interest or value.

2.98 grams was the minimum coming out of the mint. 2.9 is completely normal given the level of wear. 1944 to 1946 cents were 95% Cu and 5% Zn (shell case brass). Same tolerance for weight.
It's worth 5 cents maybe.
