lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 04:19 am Sometimes the stock the blanks are punched from is rolled out a little thick or thin resulting in coins that are a bit heavy or light. Edited by lcutler 05/21/2024 04:19 am Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95075 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 09:14 am agreed a rolled thick planchet. not very common for this weight, but it happens. the rolled out stock metal could have been near the end and not properly flattened out.

1369 Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 06/06/2024 02:13 am Well, what about the gov't specs that the mints' should be in tolerance with that state LMC from 59' to 82' should weigh 3.11g with a tolerance of + or - .13 g, so wouldn't 3.24g be max weight. Why would they have specs in print for guidelines but not follow them , I have a small date 82' penny that weighs 2.65g so if that cent had a thick planchet it could qualify for the small date 95% copper cent. Without rules, there's chaos. Just my opinion, I do thank you all for your time and knowledge/experience. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 06/06/2024 04:18 am Coins are supposed to fall within the Weight Tolerance range. Those that weigh outside of that range are errors but unless far over or under they are common enough not to add any premium. An overweight zinc cent could be confused with an underweight brass cent, it has happened here in the past. Edited by lcutler 06/06/2024 04:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
