It's a circulated 1983 D one cent. A little heavy, but within tolerance. Maybe your scale needs calibration?
Any other questions?

 

Does anyone else think we should do away with the cent?

I did calibrate my scale i put a nickel 5.0 then a copper cent 1977 3.1 then a 1993 cent 2.5 grams. Thanks
Yes i do have another ? Are there any other 2.7 grams 1983 cents that have been descoverd or talked about?

 

I don't think we should do away with it, just put a new design on the reverse . I can't stand that shield ....

 

It's a penny!

I would not like to follow Canada and eliminate the cent. They're so much fun.

 

How about get rid of all of it, ahhh!

 

I wonder if maybe we should get rid of the bad policies making the cent obsolete, instead.

 

Pennies are a good start for kids in collecting No

 

I went to the store the other day. There were about 100 cents laying there in the next parking space. I probably looked silly but I picked them up. I was worried that a car would run me over.
A year ago I was picking up nails in a parking lot and my son yelled at me to get up. A guy in a truck just missed me and backed into my truck. I should know better.

 

I hope they don't get rid of pennies. I want to make the penny /copper hoarders PAY...!

 

You would have something if it was 3.0 or 3.1g.

 

I'm sure tons...its not a discovery nor does it warrant being talked about above and beyond this information here:

If they stopped making cents it could bring a bunch of new people to coin collecting, just like what happened when the large cents were replaced with small cents.

 

I was walking across the post office parking lot to get my mail in Bellingham Wa. and was backed into by a van(driver never used mirrors?) knocked me on my butt -I lived....

 

So what! The people who threw them out were centsless.

For the record, I pick them up, too, but I still wish Congress would do away with them.

Don't worry! They'll be paying in due time when they discover that those copper cents aren't worth anywhere near as much as Grade A copper.

What is it? A slightly overweight and out of tolerance copper plated zinc cent. At .1 grams out of tolerance, probably not of significant value.

 

I wish i had a steel copper plated 1983 D cent......maybe it could be that my magnet dose not work i will try another one.....
