<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 4583925, member: 29239"]Kevin I noticed you said you also weighed another wheat back cent and it was 3.0 which was the same as your coin in question weighed. I have weighed many circulated wheat back cents and they all are between 2.7 and 3.1 so anywhere in this range would be normal for a circulated cent. I have never tried it but I think if someone ground away enough metal to make all evidence of a die strike disappear from a wheat back cent it would be near 2.5 or less in weight . This is because the raised rim and all the design would have to be taken off . Sometimes common sense helps a little . A few on here try to make me look like a newbie , I have been collecting coins way before most of them were even born. Maybe this is why they love me so much. lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
