Copper cents weigh 3.11 grams. There is a +/- tolerance of .13 grams,
making the acceptable range 2.88-3.24. Your coin falls inside that range.
A coin would have to be VERY light or VERY heavy to be something special.
Even if it just fell outside of that range, it wouldn't be enough.
Without seeing a photo, your coin in circulated condition is worth .02-.03 cents.

 

Hello ,I am looking for help in finding the value of a 1944 D wheat cent,,The D is over an S i am assuming,,Because you can make out the top and bottom of the S on the NW TOP AND SE BOTTOM and there is a lamination error that consumes LINCOLNS mouth jaw neck and bow tie that extends down between the 1 and 9 in the date with the 1 in the date is stamped over the outer edge of the imprint,The weight is 3.1 grams,,,,,Any help would be appreciated

 

This is an older thread so if you start your own and post photos you'll get a much better response. Welcome to CT.

 

Lincoln Cent Resource lists 2 1944 D over S types.
Let's see a photo.
That 10% tolerance from early in the thread is terrible information.

 

Thank you ,And your 5% answer has been taken into consideration,I will reflect on it . Thank you
JIM

 

MICHAEL,JIM HERE AGAIN ,I LOOKED THAT UP AND AM SURE IT IS THE 1944 D/S OMM#1,,,,,,AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE INFO. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO IS A GOOD RECOMMENDED GRADING SERVICE,,,,THANK YOU AGAIN
JIM

 

OK good. It's not going to be worth grading. Unless it is worth hundreds of dollars which IDK but I guess it's not that high.
Put it into a 2x2 flip and write all the correct information on there.
Rereading my other post and of course the tolerance range is 2.98-3.24.

 

Have a 1943 steel penny sticks to a magnet it weighs 1.6 grams so its way under scale and you can still read all the details on it and there's rims on both sides so it's not worn down it's just on a thin planchette
