<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2239861, member: 66"]IF it is 2.9 grams on a precise scale it would be slightly out of spec (and an error) but so close that it is not considered to be a significant error.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is a serious site. There are also a significant number of novice collectors that come here with questions and an important function of the site is to teach. And who cares what a steel cent weighs? Anyone who takes NUMISMATICS seriously. To me there is much more importance in a question about the weight of a steel cent than in "Do you think this will get a 70?" (How long did it take you to memorize the entire Redbook? By the way it doesn't have weight tolerance information in it, so i assume there must be other books you memorized in a few minutes as well. Sorry for being snarky, but the point is everyone starts out as a beginner and they will ask beginner questions. Those questions ARE serious.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
