[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3039354, member: 78298"]Besides being harshly cleaned, wear can take off some weight. Usually it's acid that reduces the weight. People just love to experiment. There are such things as "minted on a thinly rolled planchet", which would be a good error. I doubt this is worth anything. Photos of the reverse and edge, along with other coins for comparison can help. There is a weight tolerance of +/- .13 of a gram for cents. Your coin is under that weight, but with just a photo of the obverse it's difficult to determine anything. (Except that it has been cleaned, the color is an indication of that. Copper should be brown, not pink or orange.)[/QUOTE]
