This is good to know. I for one have been weighing out pennies and the 1982’s are all over the place. This year is hard to wrap my head around. So much to learn about coin collecting. I’m really glad you are out there. Very informative.👍
Dan, I enjoy your video topic variety. What is an acceptable tolerance (in grams), and does the tolerance vary depending on the standard set by the Mint for each denomination? In other words, would the acceptable tolerance increase based on the size of the planchet, or would it be a uniform tolerance regardless of planchet size?
I have a roll of bicentennial quarters in a old plastic coin container. It looks like at one time it was part of someone's collection. My boyfriend, bought them to do our blankets at the laundrymat. He decided he would hang on to them. Forgot about them and here we are now. 2 years later They are so pretty. Super good condition.
That’s the weight of the 1948 P nickel I Have 4.66 grams. The reverse looks like a die cap . Thanks for that info. We appreciate all your hard work and time invested on videos!
Great video. Coin Roll hunting recently I found a 1946 Lincoln Wheat cent. Silver in appearance. A tad bigger than a dime...not by much. Smaller then a penny. Weighing in at 2.5 grams.
I really love your videos. Been binging on them for weeks now. Because of you, I've purchased a digital scale and USB microscope. Thank you, I'm new to the hobby!
I just found a 1971 D quarter that's very different. First off, it weighs 5.2 and change, much lighter than the original. It's very fat, twice the thickness of a regular quarter, has no ridges on the outside, smooth copper color, and is slightly smaller in diameter by about 2 mm(!). It looks like it's on the wrong planchette. The obverse is stamped very strongly to where his head sticks up off the quarter quite a bit further. The rim that is raised on a quarter, well, this one is very tall, and is actually going right through the word Liberty. it's smaller diameter raised border is cutting through all the words on the circumference of the coin. It also has a very fuzzy finish to it (background). I heard the 71 Denver is a key date, and that's what this coin is, although it's way different than a regular coin. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. thank you.😏👍💯💯💯💯💯
Hi, Thank You so much, your videos are Genuine and Honest and you tell it how it is!:) I have a silver looking 1921s wheat that i found when i inherited another coin collection to add to mine, the gentlemen passed in late 50s and when cleaning out the attic 60 yrs later, thats when i came accross his collection, mighty fine collection too I'd say. The penny weighs on scale 3.10 so not sure what planchet... Thanks for your reply when you get chance, i know your a busy Man... Blessings and Abundance to you and your Family...
Thanks Daniel i recently found a 1961d LMC that weights 2.8g & have been looking into it the past couple days but still yet to natch it to a planchet of its type.
Hi: I have a 1966 Kennedy, no mint half dollar coin weighing in at 11.10gms and an identical that weighs 11.63 gms ( on my scale) I realize they are , or should be 40% silver, what could cause the 11.10 coin to weigh so much less? could it be aluminum? Thanks for the great advice that you share.
I watch all of your videos and I appreciate your knowledge on these situations. You are very helpful. Thank you Daniel. I saw a 58D DDO THAT AUCTIONED FOR OVER 300,000.00,
Thank you for doing this video!!! Question: If some copper planchets accidentally got stuck wrong, wouldn't it be possible that it might have happened the other way around? Especially since they were doing experiments/pattern cents in 1942/43 with different alloys? And since there were no official records of the compositions tested, who is to say? I'm only asking because I found a Lincoln cent that weighs what a steel penny should weigh but in bronze?
It was graded by PCGS XF40BN, then due to an issue with PCGS so I had a metallurgic analysis and grading by NGC. You can look it up on NGC - #4719181-001 I’ve asked everyone in the numismatic community, and nobody knows? Who started Numismatics? It’s crazy, because we make our own money and assign value to paper and metal; is it like the 1%’s evil little treasure hunt? When they were experimenting before the war, there were several pattern coins that were 90% Cu 10% Zn, 85%Cu 15%Zn, weighing 2.7g - 2.8g. Mike Byers - has blanks that weigh the same as mine? Who is the “President” or say all end all when it comes to currency? The secretary of treasury? I emailed them today😬🤪 My coin is a 1948 D Lincoln Cent 2.7g (2.8g) 94% Cu 6%zn XF45BN
@@deannalea1515 I know there is experimental planchet struck my 1943 dies and one sold at the last ANA auction. I am not sure what you're asking here. The mint did this a lot and they're not supposed to have made it out of the US Mint but some did, along with several other off metal coins. Considering the billions of cents released into circulation through out the years and decade after decade there's not way anyone could know how many or which would have ended up in circulation.
Here's the one that sold at Heritage coins.ha.com/itm/lincoln-cents/small-cents/1943-1c-five-piece-set-of-cents-on-experimental-planchets-ngc/a/1291-4361.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515
Who is the final say, if say there was a discrepency? Officially, who makes the final decision? I reached out to David McCarthy from Kagin's, and he suggested it was made from shell casings? @@CoinHELPu
I found a 1989 quarter with what seems to be a railroad error but is also 5.1 grams and I think my scale might be rounding up. The copper core still has the rim so it wasn’t acid. I haven’t gotten a consent answer on what it could be. Diameter is correct at least compared to another quarter.
Ok on coins that are off on their weight, how much can be expected on loss from normal wear from circulation. I've got 1/2 dozen nickles weighing between 4.2-4.6 and not sure how much is attributed to wear, but all are in 35-55 grade and that's actually a very low assumption
I found a 1943 d penny that has a copper edge and a steel face and steel back. It wieght is 3.00 grams. What do you think? It looks simaler to bronze or copper on the edge. So i sent it in to pcgs today.
One day there will be a quarter from 1992 that will have been minted without a mint mark. It will be exactly 70 years from the 1922 no d penny, and another 30 years until it's discovered. 100 years difference that 2 business stuck coins with the same error. What is your thoughts based upon your knowledge if that occured?
Hi Daniel i have a penny struck on dime size planchet i believe it fell off the roof almost all the silver has faded off as well as the date may just be the strike it took ? its hard to read has a odd wieght 2.73 grams ive stared my eyes out my best guess is 1964 63 or 83 but more convinced on 64 copper cored not zinc im guessing because of weight ,its not magnetic ,exact size and shape as a dime no ridges on edge i guess my next step is to look up for foriegn plancets ??? Would this be a 11 cent coin Dual denomination ? Im hoping wrong planchet transitional error dual denomination if there are any ??? id like to post it on a facebook group again but it didnt get much fanfare the first time .but last time i didnt notice the silver remnants color and or study it that well .ok transplant from ohio to hawaii aloha !!! My coin collection from strickly pocket change has gotten some nice finds in two year endeavour .Lincolns Jeffersons Roosevelts Washingtons some Anthonys Sacajaweas and President Dollars. Aloha
I have a 1958D penny that weighs 3.50 grams and it sticks to a magnet magnet.. the rim is rolled up higher than the thickness of the coin on both sides. It is silver colored and it looks plated but it is also a Ddo , Ddr and has the MM error the D almost touches the 9 in the date.
They are in circulation. Two years ago, I was going through an old bank roll of pennies and I found a 1954 P struck on a Silver planchet. I suspect it is an Ecuadorian ten centavo. I gave it to my daughter for Christmas. She is a Bank Compliance Officer and goes often to meetings at the Fed. I'm sure she will find someone who can verify it for her.
I just looked at that 71d I have, and it looks like it was stamped over another coin.... in the rim is what looks like writing from another coin, and it's also a double die, the wings on the reverse are doubled.....
I've found a penny that weighs 3.64 grams. don't remember the date... I just put it in a 2x2 and thru it in my tool box... maybe I should check into it a bit more....
We have a 1965 quarter that is struck on copper, it weighs 2.4 grams, it's the same size as a quarter. It weighs the same as a penny... Has the ridges on the outside like a quarter... Any thoughts?
I have a 1994-D Jefferson Nickel its the same diameter as all the others i have stacked it on top of to make sure of that the catch is it has a reeded edge with more tighter grouped line's than a dime and give or take a little half as thick as all the rest i have compared it to...the coin is a full strike for the images obv,rev surprisingly enough being how thin it is and its weight is 2.8/2.9grams oh and its definitely DDO Jefferson very clearly seen with a line in front of face like a second outline and the words on the obverse and i have yet to be able to find anything searching online that matches
I have a 1976 S silver uncirculated quarter in pristine condition. It weighs 5.912 grams. It’s been weighed in 3 different scales with the same results. Is this an error@?
I found a 1984 P quarter that weighs 5 grams and the ridge is solid copper color and the strike on coin both sides looks like a dirty die or bad die strike I believe this might be a copper planchet missing the nickel clad any advice

Hey Daniel, a big fan of your channel I really appreciate all the content you put out! Im going to post a video on my channel on a 1962 D penny that i found that weights 3.3 grams which is a bit over weight? Can't find anything on it from pcgs or heritage auction site?
@@CoinHELPu thank you for the help! I went to jack beymers store here in Santa Rosa CA and he wasn't too sure what to think of it himself but did say it was slightly overweight but nothing too dramatic enough to be worth anything, thought dipping into different wells of knowledge would get me an answer I wanted but I'll just keep on searching and paying attention!
I recently initiated the weighing process. I have over 5 coins that are off weight 3 from the 40"s and one from the 20"s. All are only 2.5 grams Should I send them in for grading???
Hello there! I recently found a 1982 d “small date” penny weighing 3.1 grams in a coffee can my grandmother had. What would you recommend I do to see if it is authentic? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for your info. I'm still trying to figure out what I have. 1986p quarter that weighs 3.9-4.0 grams. It is visibly thinner than it should be and just slightly smaller in diameter. The reverse is black,the obverse is brown/red with some black. I haven't seen this error anywhere else. The lettering on the obverse/reverse touches the rim. Is it unclad? Is this worth having graded? Thanks!
Daniel my quarter that struck on a nickel planchet weighs exactly 5 grams and is the same size as a nickel does it still have the chance to be a fake Daniel thanks for having your videos they helped a lot and thank you
DANIEL where would I where would I go to check weights on pennies? confused about the weight of a steel penny 1943 and weight of a zink 1982, 83 pennies can you make a video on the weights of pennies struck on wrong planchet
Hey Daniel, I have a 1975 Lincoln cent that weighs 3.2 grams and looks like it was colored with black magic marker, but when I look at it under a loop it just looks like dark metal. It isn't magnetic. Do you know what it could be? I could send you a picture. Thanks.
I found a 1986P dime coin roll hunting. The weight was 2.07 grams on further examination I noticed what appeared to be copper sandwiched between the two outer layers. It’s non magnetic. The diameter is .60 in and the thickness is .50in I can’t find anything to compare. Any suggestions what I have.
Thank u this helped me a lot 🙂. I did have quite abit have some that weighs less n same that weigh alot more 😅 but also need to try the magnet too. Even tho despite that they r ddo’s n ddr. 🤘😁 thanks for what u do 🙏
I have three steel pennies from 1943 one from each mint I also have a 1943 D copper penny but one I can't figure out is a 1943 that's not steel or copper it's kind of a Teflon brown color I'm not sure what to make of it❓🤔 Have you ever come across one like that❓😳
I have a 1956 dime in darker color below average condition with 2.5g and another with a later date that weighs about 2.17g. Not sure if it's mint error, real or fake?
Hey Daniel, I've got a 1972 that weighs 3.25.i did some research and found that it could have been stamped on a 1940s 20 centavo for bolivia. Sound right?
Daniel I have a nickel that has a quarter face on it and back I'm trying to say I have a quarter that struck on a nickel planchet can you give me a estimate on how much they're worth and what to do
Is the one I found still “normal”? 1948 D Lincoln Cent? GUN SHELL METAL? 7 different alloys including TITANIUM? Weighs 2.7g? Has major errors all over it!? Code, letters, it’s crazy!!! I just found a 1943 Steel, and the reverse looks as if the wheat stalks are “UNRAVELING”???? Literally!?!? I’ve never seen anything like it?
I like your videos. Recently I found a 2005 P penny that weighs 2.27 grams . Lincoln is looks clad color but copper around him , the rim looks clad.. Monticello looks clad also but copper around it. There is also a leaf to the right side of Monticello that looks like the dime leaf. I need to post to con help you community to see what your thought is. I ve never seen one like it.
I got a 1999 Connecticut quarter look silver weighs 5.77 G no copper showing got another quarter looks the same way Waze 5.64 grams do you know what the deal is with these I also have a 82 quarter looks aluminum
Could u help me..Ive. research a little bit of everywhere trying to find information on a 1978 Memorial that weighs 3.03 G do you have any ideas of what this could be it has a bright goldish,golden yellow color..it also is what everyone calls thick..
I have a 1944 Lincoln penny is extremely thin no rim completely legable but worn weighs 1.5 grams can't find any info on it diameter is a little smaller also
Hello Daniel, I have been watching your videos. Very helpful. However, I have a 1964 Kennedy half dollar that weighs 13.03 grams. Way out of range. I can find nothing on coin errors where it weighs more. No other coins weigh in at that. (It came in a bank roll from AMEX) Any Ideas on what I've got? Thanks
@@CoinHELPu Thank you for getting back to me. I left them a message, nothing on their site mentions this type of error besides possible alloy mix problem.
Hey my name is Mark, I have a question hopefully someone can answer. I’ve been going through weighing my coins. Came across a 2014d penny. Weight is 2.36gr. How can I pursue this. Even adding the .10 tolerance doesn’t add up. Or just how far away from 2.5 zinc, or 3.11 copper can you be after applying the tolerances. Thanks
have a 4.13 g nickel. sounds like a dime,,reg size of a nickel but thickest is smaller than a standard nickel. 1964 i would guess its on a thinner planchet. sounds more like a dime.
I'm not a corn collector just came across them when I was at the age of 19 I've had them ever since I also have a few dimes that are silver I am 56 now
I recommend buying a 2023 Red Book Price guide it has all the weights and no coin collector, especially a new coin collector, should be without a copy.
Hello thanks for the video I did not know I have so many 1982 large dates I need to weigh them also I think I have a 1982 D small date and it weighs 3.06 grams can I send you a picture of it thanks
Download our MINT ERROR app on Google Play play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ErrorCoins
Does the greater weight ifference increase the value of the error?

Helped allot I have two dozen that are between 3.07 g to 3.19
I recently initiated the weighing process.
I have over 5 coins that are off weight
3 from the 40"s and one from the 20"s.
All are only 2.5 grams
Should I send them in for grading???
I know we were making coins for Costa Rica and Cuba. I wonder if it is a planchet from either of them?

Hello there! I recently found a 1982 d “small date” penny weighing 3.1 grams in a coffee can my grandmother had. What would you recommend I do to see if it is authentic? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for your info. I'm still trying to figure out what I have. 1986p quarter that weighs 3.9-4.0 grams. It is visibly thinner than it should be and just slightly smaller in diameter. The reverse is black,the obverse is brown/red with some black. I haven't seen this error anywhere else. The lettering on the obverse/reverse touches the rim. Is it unclad?
Is this worth having graded? Thanks!
Daniel my quarter that struck on a nickel planchet weighs exactly 5 grams and is the same size as a nickel does it still have the chance to be a fake Daniel thanks for having your videos they helped a lot and thank you
Anything has a chance to be fake. I would send to ANACS
Thank you for good info
You're welcome
DANIEL where would I where would I go to check weights on pennies? confused about the weight of a steel penny 1943 and weight of a zink 1982, 83 pennies can you make a video on the weights of pennies struck on wrong planchet
I already did, please search my videos.

Thanks for your video, it was very educational and interesting,
I have a 1964 copper penny that weights 2.5 grams what's wrong with it? Thanks
Hey Daniel,
I have a 1975 Lincoln cent that weighs 3.2 grams and looks like it was colored with black magic marker, but when I look at it under a loop it just looks like dark metal. It isn't magnetic. Do you know what it could be? I could send you a picture. Thanks.
I found a 1986P dime coin roll hunting. The weight was 2.07 grams on further examination I noticed what appeared to be copper sandwiched between the two outer layers. It’s non magnetic. The diameter is .60 in and the thickness is .50in I can’t find anything to compare. Any suggestions what I have.

What if it's a 1950 cent or 1972 both weight 2.4 gr. Mint is circulated on both
I have three steel pennies from 1943 one from each mint I also have a 1943 D copper penny but one I can't figure out is a 1943 that's not steel or copper it's kind of a Teflon brown color I'm not sure what to make of it❓🤔 Have you ever come across one like that❓😳
I have a 1959D Nickel weighs 5.12gms Thanks for this video. ALso found a 1943 P Nickel & 1940 Nickel
That was a good video for sure
I have a 1956 dime in darker color below average condition with 2.5g and another with a later date that weighs about 2.17g. Not sure if it's mint error, real or fake?
Hey Daniel, I've got a 1972 that weighs 3.25.i did some research and found that it could have been stamped on a 1940s 20 centavo for bolivia. Sound right?
I would have to check but if that is the case you should be sending it to NGC. 1940's centavo is a bit older, but who knows.
Troy Benson e chi sei
Thanks Angelo
Daniel I have a nickel that has a quarter face on it and back I'm trying to say I have a quarter that struck on a nickel planchet can you give me a estimate on how much they're worth and what to do
Would have to be verified by a CONECA attributer.
I have a 1980 D penny that weighs 2.4 grams. It also has a three times larger 0 in 1980? I can not find any info on it anywhere?
Is the one I found still “normal”? 1948 D Lincoln Cent? GUN SHELL METAL? 7 different alloys including TITANIUM? Weighs 2.7g? Has major errors all over it!? Code, letters, it’s crazy!!!
I just found a 1943 Steel, and the reverse looks as if the wheat stalks are “UNRAVELING”???? Literally!?!?
I’ve never seen anything like it?
I like your videos. Recently I found a 2005 P penny that weighs 2.27 grams . Lincoln is looks clad color but copper around him , the rim looks clad.. Monticello looks clad also but copper around it. There is also a leaf to the right side of Monticello that looks like the dime leaf. I need to post to con help you community to see what your thought is. I ve never seen one like it.
It is also not the size of the penny. It is smaller and I put it with a dime and there the same size.
I got a 1999 Connecticut quarter look silver weighs 5.77 G no copper showing got another quarter looks the same way Waze 5.64 grams do you know what the deal is with these I also have a 82 quarter looks aluminum
Plated
Could u help me..Ive. research a little bit of everywhere trying to find information on a 1978 Memorial that weighs 3.03 G do you have any ideas of what this could be it has a bright goldish,golden yellow color..it also is what everyone calls thick..
Its just a little light doesn't mean wrong planchet
I have a 2000 sacawagea 1$ coin it only weighs 7.7 what do you think it could be?
1972 d Lincoln penny weighs 2.2 grams the weight of a dime
Me and my wife just found a 1977 that weighs 2.6 and practically in mint condition do you think this is an error ??
One quick question is a 1982 d penny that weighs 3.1 grams and doesn’t have a small date worth anything
No it is not. Please use coin price guides you can search them online and buy them at Amazon and in bookstores.
Hi Daniel , how are you feeling today . I have the same 1 cent : 1982 , 1983 . 25 cents : 1974 . I want to sell them.
I don’t buy them, they must be graded errors before I buy them.
I have a 1978s penny that weighs 3.15 grams. It this normal or a valuable penny? Please let me know
I have a 1944 Lincoln penny is extremely thin no rim completely legable but worn weighs 1.5 grams can't find any info on it diameter is a little smaller also
Hello Daniel, I have been watching your videos. Very helpful. However, I have a 1964 Kennedy half dollar that weighs 13.03 grams. Way out of range. I can find nothing on coin errors where it weighs more. No other coins weigh in at that. (It came in a bank roll from AMEX) Any Ideas on what I've got? Thanks
It’s just over weight didn’t you try error-ref.com for that?
@@CoinHELPu Thank you for getting back to me. I left them a message, nothing on their site mentions this type of error besides possible alloy mix problem.
@@donalddura562 yes they do, you just have to try different searches www.error-ref.com/?s=thick+planchet
@@CoinHELPu totally missed it thanks
i have a 1952 wheat penny that weights 3.30 grams is it possible that the penny was struck on a canadian planchet
Hey my name is Mark, I have a question hopefully someone can answer. I’ve been going through weighing my coins. Came across a 2014d penny. Weight is 2.36gr. How can I pursue this. Even adding the .10 tolerance doesn’t add up. Or just how far away from 2.5 zinc, or 3.11 copper can you be after applying the tolerances. Thanks
have a 4.13 g nickel. sounds like a dime,,reg size of a nickel but thickest is smaller than a standard nickel. 1964 i would guess its on a thinner planchet. sounds more like a dime.
Could the coins lose weight due to frequent cleaning/polishing?
I just found a 2018 Michigan quarter that weighs 5.2g, it almost sounds like aluminum when something hits it.
I have a coin that looks like a penny but under a magnifier it has lots patches of silver. It feels like and as thin as a dime.
I have a 1982 d large date penny that weighs 2.98 G in good condition it appears that the d has been double struck what is it
Is it possible to have Morgan Dollars that weighs 0.1 grams more than the standard?
Yes that is still within mint specifications.
I'm not a corn collector just came across them when I was at the age of 19 I've had them ever since I also have a few dimes that are silver I am 56 now
great video, a lot of information. thank you 😊
Thank you and you're welcome!
84 d penny weighing 2.75 grams thicker than the others... is that just oddity. Got my copper in one container and zinc going back to the bank.
How much does the 1943 steel silver penny supposed to weigh?
I recommend buying a 2023 Red Book Price guide it has all the weights and no coin collector, especially a new coin collector, should be without a copy.
Hello thanks for the video I did not know I have so many 1982 large dates I need to weigh them also I think I have a 1982 D small date and it weighs 3.06 grams can I send you a picture of it thanks
My email is help@coinauctionshelp.com. Large dates don't matter they came in both weights as I explained in the video.
@@CoinHELPu thanks for responding to my question I did send an email with a couple of pictures of the two Lincoln cents I'm asking about thank you
