Hard to know.
Is there a foreign substance on the coin? Is the scale properly tarred and calibrated? Seems off but I would can't a more accurate scale. A tenths scale is rounding, it may not be as far off as it seems. Di let cents weigh properly?
Legal tolerance is 0 13 grams now.
Weights up to 2.63g are within tolerance for zinc cents.
Weights down to 2.98g are within tolerance for copper cents.
FWIW...
There appears to be enough collected grunge on that cent to warrant the extra weight... Cheers, RickO
Sorry, but there is nothing there worth noting. It is just a common date circulated Lincoln Memorial cent which is worth one cent. Minor weight variations on cents of that era are nothing to spend time on or get excited about.
This is a double platting mint error.
