<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 8074660, member: 84179&quot;]The tolerance range for copper Lincoln cents is 3.11 grams +/- 0.13 gms, so any thing between 2.98 and 3.24 gms is normal. Assuming your scale is accurate, your coin is slightly over weight by 0.08 gms.&nbsp; As [USER=13318]@l.cutler[/USER] posted, it was likely struck on slightly thicker planchet.&nbsp; At only 0.08 gms over, you probably aren&#039;t going to notice a thickness change due to process variations with die set up distances and striking pressures. </p><p><br /></p><p>Technically, it would be a be an error, but at only 0.08 gms over, it&#039;s unlikely there would be any premium attached to it[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
