The proper weight for Copper Cents is 3.11 Grams
Plus or Minus in weight tolerance in some cases..
Are you using a gram scale. Like a Jewelers scale?

 

Not sure the exact tolerance +/- but it could also be from a thin rolled stock. Make sure your scale is correct, reset and try again on a flat surface. Also compare side by side with another cent to examine thickness.

 

Yes sir. Its a jewelry scale. I have weighed 10 different pennies, and those one still weighs the same. I even dropped it on a wood dresser to hear the sound only copper would make. Sounded like a Zinc penny

 

Did you find out anything else about this penny?

 

I guess not.. Last time he posted was on July 10. He probably figured it out.

 

I actually have a similar one lol was really hoping he figured it out
