<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 975457, member: 66"]It's an error in Krause. You will note they show the bronze and the copper plated zinc both being the same diameter and the same weight. But zinc is significantly lighter than copper so that almost certainly can't be right. Then notice the one cent DOES show a weight decrease when they go from bronze to copper plated zinc. And if you assume that the 2 cent should have the same percentage weight decrease you find that the 2 cent should decrease to 3.12 grams which is close enough to your observed weight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
