Tony1952 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 02/10/2024 11:22 pm I have a 1959 Lincoln that weight only 2.965 grams. I have never had one that weigh less than 3.1 grams any advice. Report this Post to the Staff

EDIT: Forgot to add - Without looking at the numbers, 2.965 grams still seems to be in tolerance with the Mint specs. I'm sure someone else can answer that................
