I have literally 100s of this coin since purchased a box of unsearched Fed wrapped coins, just this is the only one coming in at that weight and I recalibrated the scale to make sure wasn't a fluke. All the others were 2.52 or mostly a bit lower but this is my stand out one I can't figure out about. I know there is a tolerance and maybe this one falls in that catagory.

Photos, I hope, show documenting it. Not sure if this makes it rare, well is to me because of going through 100s and finding only this one that a bit heavy.

Weight of a zincoln should be 2.5 grams with a tolerance of ± 0.1 grams. Your coin is not far enough out of tolerance to be considered extremely unusual.

Sort of what I thought, but sure was the odd one in hundreds of 2017s
