<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1360547, member: 15199&quot;]The tolerances for a 3.11 gram 1974 cent is +/- 0.13 grams so a minimum weight could be 2.98 grams to max of 3.24 grams. Although the weight usually stays close to 3.11, it doesn&#039;t take much wear to remove some weight.&nbsp; For instance, if you have a packet of splenda, it weighs 1 gram. Open it up and divide it into 10 little piles and that is .10 gram. Copper is much denser, so the amount would appear extremely small. I think the damage near the ear and some corrosion, could have accounted for the low weight. IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
