If the weight of a 1984 d penny is 2.5 grms. Is a 1984 penny weight of 2.69 grms out of tolerance?

Depends a lot of things could happen when its in circulation to cause it to be to light or to heavy it could be struck to thick or to light also do you have pictures if its a particular coin.

 

Yes

 

Oops not really legible here's another

 

Oops again

 

It also has thick lettering on the date for one. Could be doubling

 

If it is doubling I honestly didn't notice it untill I posted the weight

 

Call it strike doubling, mechanical doubling or machine doubling but don't call it Doubled die doubling .

 

I don't think I did sir. And what about the weight of the coin

 

Is the C in america also mechanical or strike doubling

 

No, I was just saying . . I think your coin is in reason. There is a variance in each denomination that coins can be . All the doubling I listed are the same thing . Just different wording for NAV ( No added value ) .

 

Here is a better look I'm curious now about the NAV

 

No, it doesn't. It is a simple straightforward question. If you don't know the answer, why comment. No prizes are given to be first to answer.

 

2.50 g +/- 0.13 g, so 2.69 is out of spec but not by much.

 

Please stop extraneous answers!

 

Attached is a copy of tolerances for various US coinage, so you can see for yourself. As @SensibleSal66 said, there are a few things that can come into play. Your coin is 0.09g over max weight, so not really enough to write home about, a slightly thicker planchet could account for that.

As an aside.. When you go to post your pictures, after uploading the image, choose 'Full Image', makes it easier for us old farts to see better and not needing to click on a small picture to try and see what you are showing us.

 

Looking at this 1960 D penny I was noticing doubling but not sure if it's a doubled die

 

It helps if you tell us where you think you see it. I really don't see any, but then, I'm really bad at this (full disclosure)

 

There is a doubled die 1960 d I cant quote the number right now
