<p>[QUOTE="Mjam808, post: 7523255, member: 120364"]I was just curious if anyone knew what the “accepted” tolerances in variations of weight for different types of U.S. pennies? E.g. steel, copper, zinc, etc. I’ve seen .10 grams for zinc and .13 grams for copper. Haven’t seen any tolerances for steel. But I’m guessing unless the steel cent is uncirculated, variances in weight would be pretty wide. Anyways, I feel like .13 and .1 differences in weight seem a little too low to be taken seriously as an error when it comes to circulated coins. Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
