I don't know if this is a Variety or an error but i have a 1942S Lincoln that weighs in at 3.22 grams. Isn't that a little heavy for a cent? lucky2

I would've sworn I had a reference that had weight tolerances. Can't find it.

However (comma) I found this on the internet; http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/casecode/uscodes/31/subtitles/iv/chapters/51/subchapters/ii/sections/section_5113.html which says the one cent coin may vary in weight no more than 0.13 grams.
