Hello All, first time weighing my wheat and this 1951 tips the scales at 2.7 grams. Anything here?

Cheers!

Not tipping the scales. It's seriously underweight! Does the scale check out with other coins?

All others 3.1/3.2, yup. This Lincoln on Ozempic, it would seem.

Compare it with the thickness of another penny.
