<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 978123, member: 15199&quot;]The small cent Lincoln <b>except</b> for &#039;43 and the zinc Lincons weigh 3.11 +/- .13 grams tolerance, so from 2.98-3.24 grams. The steel cent is listed at 2.70 +/- 0.13 gram ( Breen reported that there were 2 different weight planchets for the steel cents, but both were within tolerances, so no way to tell). Zincolns weight is 2.5 +/- 0.1 gram ( weights from Breen&#039;s).</p><p><br /></p><p>So the 3.2 small cent seems to refer to pre-1982 bronze cents and the 2.9 probably refers to the high end of weight for the 43 steel cents. </p><p>Usually such can come up when trying to ID a bronze &#039;43 error, or a steel &#039;44 error, along with magnetic vs nonmagnetic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
