What?

 

It 2.68 grams the reverse is wicked thick

 

Use proper English. You sound like a three year old.

 

The tolerance is +/-.13 of a gram for zinc and copper cents.
So a range of 2.37-2.63 is normal. At 2.68, .05 (1/20th of a gram) is out of tolerance, but it isn't enough to garner a premium.
As for any DD or wicked thickness, you would have to show better detailed photos and comparisons, to be able to see anything.
Offhand, this cent is worth .01.

 

Thank u i like the facts AWESOME have a great weekend bud

 

@Willysilver It is important to make sure your scale is calibrated. Sometimes this is difficult if you don't have the calibration weights. One trick is to weigh 5-10 coins in the weight range you are checking. If you weigh 10 plated lincolns and they all come out around 2.5 (or 2.50 depending on the precision of your balance), then you're probably OK. If you get some wild numbers or big variations, then you may have a problem


Doing this won't calibrate your scale, but it will give you some confidence that it's giving you an accurate reading.

 

I use a nickel to calibrate it and I do it often so it's pretty accurate thank you though
