<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 24686923, member: 15199&quot;]Before we get excited new members, let us remember that the weight isn&#039;t just static. The mint recognizes this as they do not want to adjust every coin ~impossible. So they have a range limit where they are NORMAL value.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are 2 average weight , for the copper cents it is 3.11grams +/- 0.13gram, so a copper cent can be from 2.98G -3.24G and be normal.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the plated zinc cent it is 2.50G +/- .10G&nbsp;&nbsp; so any zinc cent is 2.40-2.60G</p><p><br /></p><p>Your scale/balance ( what ever you have) should read at least 2 decimal places after the zero. a 3 decimal place is more accurate.</p><p>IMO, Jim</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s.&nbsp; Be sure if you want accuracy to use a precision weight to use as a accuracy test.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
