In my opinion, its very close to being within tolerance. The range is between 2.4 to 2.6
Its only 2 one-hundredths of a gram off.
To me its a normal cent.

I will see if i can attach a chart that was originally posted here

So what about to others I've read in a couple different forums were this is a error

Catch, all coins have a tolerance of a +/-. if a coin is within that tolerance, it is considered to be a normal coin. Being way off would make it a true error.

Here is a cent that was rolled thick so it is over 1 gram off, it is a true error.

Your coin is so close to being within tolerance .002 off... basically, is it an error? that would be determined by each other collector. some may say it is more then 2.6 grams so yes it is an error. but it is so close to the tolerance of the mint ,002 off so some would say no.

In my opinion, and bluntly, it depends on the knowledge and experience of the collectors. It depends on what they like to collect and generally have an idea what they are looking to add to their collection. Some people just go off what the coin is supposed to be. For copper Lincolns, 3.11g. They may not know about the tolerances. Unfortunately, coin productions isnt an exact science.

I just try to be as unbiased and truthful as i can be. I dont over-dramatize things and offer logic to the process. But in the end, its an opinion.

As far as the other forums they have their own opinion too. But its not here and i personally am not going to go see what they have to say. I am cofortable here.

I can understand that I read that in 1941. No mind mark with lines in the face. Could also be a print on a foreign coin with it being slightly off and weight and size. I also read at the start of the war. 1941 that these different materials to make coins and some of them weren't mixed correctly, causing odd weights pretty much not very rare in 41, but in 42 , they started changing the weights around to give more copper for shell casings. But it's okay, I read up on it and I know what's going on now. I thought I would have got it here. That's all right. I guess the best way to learn is to get it yourself not to rely on the professionals.

In my opinion, identifying a coin struck on a foreign planchet isn't easy. If I personally aren't giving you the answers you want to hear, then what I have to offer obviously won't matter in the end. So I will say enjoy the hours and hours of time dedicated to research, hitting brick walls, rabbit holes reliable and unreliable resources. I'm done.
