    It's a little heavy. The scale could be off, or, the coin could be slightly thicker and heavier than normal. If you weigh a number of copper cents that all come in around 3.1 and this one still weighs 3.29, then it's not the scale and it is heavy.

    There could also be residues on the coin...
