[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3275418, member: 78298"]I understand why people say to start a new thread (hijack, and visibility). But do we really need all these extra threads where people are told their coins are only worth 1 cent? Also as a new member he may not have surfed around the site enough to know how to create a new thread, or where the forum is. He may have just searched for this specific date that he has a question about and this thread popped up. As for the new question, it weighs 2.5 because zinc cents are supposed to weigh 2.5 grams. Sometimes the plating has been removed, (it won't really affect the weight much it's very thin). However, if your coin was not plated and left the mint, then you have something. Also proof is not a grade, it is a method of manufacture. Proof can be any number from 1-70. Most likely you have a normal cent and the plating has been removed after it has left the mint. But you need to post photos.[/QUOTE]
