<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1684947, member: 15199&quot;]The cent of that year had a nominal ( gov. specs wt. ) of 3.11 grams and the tolerance allowed was +/-&nbsp; 0.13 grams. The maximum struck weight would be 3.24 grams and the lightest 2.98 grams. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please do not think I am criticizing you in this next paragraph, but more your balance. It says it has a ,1 gram resolution. This means that there is a rounding function to get that one decimal place. 10% weight deficit would be well under the tolerances.If you haven&#039;t used a reference weight to calibrate it recently, it might be off. Please consider having the coin&nbsp; weighed on a different balance. with a better resolution such as a jeweler&#039;s or a chemist, pharmacists balance.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I do not feel that it is worn or damaged enough to have that much weight loss, but until we have a verified weight, I would not expect anyone to come up with a good possible answer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
