1945 no mint and no "Trust"

I could use some input on this coin. It is thinner than normal, weighs 2.8g, is not magnetic and is totally missing the word "Trust". I am including a picture with another 1945 for comparison.

I appreciate your input and trust your knowledge
Thank you so much! It was the first I had found with a complete word missing.

 

Very common , especially the '50s ....

 

Thank you again. And for the link. But the weight?? Normal loss?

 

Yea. It's not that much . There's always a slight deviation based on wear and Planchet thickness .

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood!

You'd be surprised how many newbies come here thinking that we don't know what one coin or another is supposed to look like.

 

That is normal for a 1945 penny (bolded).

 

Standard is 3.11g +/- 0.13g so 2.98g... and those standards are only 95% of the time.

So two-three coins per hundred COULD weigh below 2.98g and still be in spec.
