<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1002328, member: 66&quot;]Checked Coinfacts and they list the tolerance as 6.2 grams which is seriously wrong.&nbsp; So I checked the tolerance for the one cent bronze and it is the same as the Lincoln cent bronze .13 grams.&nbsp; Since the two cent was in proportion weight wise to the one cent I would expect the tolerance to be .26 grams.&nbsp; (Same figures as what coinfacts had so that was most likely a typo.)&nbsp; Now Doug was right about them being VERY strict on the weight tolerances back then, but that was for gold and silver.&nbsp; Tolerances for the base metal coins were much looser.</p><p><br /></p><p>What bothers me about this coin is the SIZE of the 4.&nbsp; The dates on these coins were punched in with a four digit logotype punch and I would expect the same punch would be used for all the dies.&nbsp; I do not see how that final 4 could be so much larger than normal on a genuine coin.&nbsp; Even if they used a different logotype punch I would expect the digits to match in size.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
