I found a 1970 that weighs in at 3.4 is it anything i should wonder about or os this within allowance oof the weight
I checked my scale recalibrated it weighed other coins every thing checks out still weighs 3.4 sometimes bounces to 3.5
Maybe rolled thick plantchet? Wait for paddyman98 he collects things like this. I know he would want to see the coin.
Possible.. but the Cent in question is within weight tolerance. I want to share this webpage with you - http://www.error-ref.com/rolled-thick-planchets/
Tolerance on a copper Linc. Cent is 2 grains, or .13 grams. (normal is 48 grains or 3.1 grams) Your's is .17 of a gram over the tolerance.
Nice does that make it an error coin or should i get it checked to make sure its not a different planchett or forgery
Unlikely it's a penny forgery. It's possible the planchet was rolled "thick" and it's slightly heavy. Probably a minor error. Def. a keeper. Don't know the value. Unlikely it is a different planchet, because if it is a foreign planchet it won't be the same diameter as a US cent. (if this lines up with other cents).
Thank you guys so mchbyour always so helpful and i learn so much thanks may you all recieve a 5 gallon jug of pennies that is my wish
If you mean a Panama centismo, then yes that should be the same size and weight as an LC. So why would that be heavy?
