1 pennyweight?

 

What year are we talking about here? US cents have had more than one weight over the last couple of hundred years. Modern Cents... https://www.usmint.gov/learn/coin-and-medal-programs/coin-specifications

 

I've been to the US Mint guidelines it doesn't give the exact weight I know 3.11 to 3.17 is a bronze penny or greater I have a bronze penny that weighs would that be a planchette error 3.30

 

English much?

 

I need some help i

 

3.30 grams it weighs its a 1962 d

 

Slow down.

 

Any luck ive looked everywhere all the grading company s i cant find any info might have to send it in

 

You seem to be asking about tolerances. Perhaps @Conder101 can shed some light upon this subject?

 

3.30 would be quite heavy for a 62, the weight should be 3.11 with a tolerance of +/-0.13g.

 

Im a very factual person i agree but i need the true fact is the allowed so what you are saying is max of +0.13+3.11=3.24 max ..next ? Any value in overweight based on condition also im sure

 

Lol

 

Very good, your math earns an A+, but concerning value, I have no idea.

 

I wouldn't consider a coin that is just .06 grams out of tolerance to be signifiantly overweight. As I have mentioned elsewhere, if you get a cent that weighs 4 grams or more then you've got something.

 

Also if I might ask, what type of scale/balance are you using, and has it been calibrated recently. Secondly, is the cent bright uncirculated state or is it corroded to some extent, as one or both of these factors could contribute that small of extra weight.

 

Thank u

 

Thank u buddy
