I found this and another like it in a mixed lot. The weight of this coin is 3.19 grams and the other coin like it is. 3.09 grams. Does the weight difference make this coin fake?
Many thanks

Only clearer pics that are closer to the coin will allow anyone here to be able to tell for sure. Chances are they are both fake though from what information that you have provided.
Too blurry
And a picture of the reverse too............

Thanks sorry pic aren't great, I'll post more of the coin.
Counterfeit. Someone owes you a real wheat cent.
And the other one?
I have three in total the third ones weight is 3.11
Thanks for the info
Sorry, no good. The details are too indistinct for a genuine coin. Looks like a die struck counterfeit.
Yep.... counterfeit cents.... Likely of far east origin.... Cheers, RickO
They are definitely counterfeit, but I think these are relatively good counterfeits. Much better than the junk you typically see on eBay coming out of China.
