Re: 1974 no mint mark penny

This may be a rhetorical (and curious) question, but if you saw a 1974-P (no mint mark)laying beside a 1974 (no mint mark) PROOF, would you be able to tell the difference?

OK, but I thought a "95% copper" cent was supposed to weigh 3.11 grams (+/- 5%).

I found a 1980 the other day that looked like it was shedding it's skin.
I didn't know what would be causing this, since cents were not made with copper plated zinc in 1980.

If no one has noticed yet, you may have your scale set on ounces (0.1 OZ = 28 grams) and giving a reading in ounces (0.1 OZ) instead of grams (28 x 0.1 = 2.8 grams).

I know a lot of forums will only let you upload pictures (gif, jpg, png) and not videos because they don't want to host the file. Hosting a video on a public forum uses a lot of bandwidth.

Can the coin in the attached photo be accurately graded using this photo? If so,:

The coin in the attachment has a PCGS grading.
What would be your best evaluation of the grade that it has been given by PCGS?
