    I also have a 1944 penny weighing 2.8 grams but there is no damage or taper to it was thinking of sending it out to be graded

    Grading is very expensive. Is this a steel cent? Provide a photo here first.
    If it looks like steel, it is most likely plated over copper.
    Don't take this the wrong way, this is a very rare coin, and someone is always coming here, claiming this and that. And so far 100% have not had the actual coin. There are a million fakes for every real one.
    If it is a copper 1944 that weighs a little light, it's no big deal.

    @Ron111 The best thing to do is to start a new post with a clear cropped picture. Your coin probably isn't an error and/or isn't in a high grade that would warrant sending it to a TPG, but a pic would confirm that.

    Of course we don't know what you have, it is important to post clear photos of both sides, about any coin you have a question about. And most of the time, people here will give you an honest and correct answer.
    But without seeing it, I was only guessing based on past experience.

    Hi I also have a 1944 and it has a thinner planchet on one side so I bet they were minted that way and its an error

    Hi and welcome to CT. Clear, in-focus full size images are required before anyone is able to give you an opinion on your coin.
    A planchet is a single entity so cannot have. to quote you, " a thinner planchet on one side "
