<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3651962, member: 66&quot;]No it is not. Max tolerance weight for a zinc cent is 2.6 grams so it is NOT well within tolerance.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Your figures are correct and it is out of tolerance for US standards.&nbsp; As for it being on a Canadian planchet, how would that have gotten into the US Mint?&nbsp; The only way I could see that happening would be if Jardan Zinc was also making planchets for the Canadian mint and somehow a Canadian planchet got into the US Mint shipment.&nbsp; But I don&#039;t know of Jardan making planchets for Canada, so the mostly answer is a planchet cut from copper strip that was rolled very slightly too thin.&nbsp; I say copper because the coin is closer to the copper minimum weight than it is to the zinc maximum weight.&nbsp; This is one case where the ring test would be useful because the &quot;thud&quot; of zinc is much different from the ring of copper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
