<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1367975, member: 66"]Yes the plating would add weight, but you don't know how much the cent really weighed before the plating. Specs say 3.11 grams but there is also a .1 gram tolerance so it could have weighed as little as 3 grams before the plating. Second a plating can be very thin and would add very little weight. The copper plating on out current cents is relatively thick and only adds .05 grams to the weight of the zinc blank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
