    Yes, your cent seems to be on the heavy side.

    Or, your scale is out of tolerance.

    Post a side-by-side with another cent. This might be interesting to see.

    Specs for 1983 Cents:
    EDGE: Plain
    DIAMETER: 19.00 millimeters
    WEIGHT: 2.50 grams
    MINTAGE: 7,752,355,000

    METAL: Copper-plated Zinc
