Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 03/11/2026 04:43 am Good morning. This coin is under the lo end for tolerance weighing 2.78 grams. The thickness appears to be normal. Were there more at the Denver mint in 1968 that are noted as being underweight? Thanks everyone for some input... Report this Post to the Staff

Not aware of 'large numbers' of other '68 D cents having a similar issue. Might be fun to sandwich this cent with several others and take a few photos end-on to compare. Report this Post to the Staff
