[Heathkit] Sometimes One Can Not Make Any Sense Of Cents!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Thanks to those of you who were observant enough to catch my error on the 
weight of the Lincoln Cent! I was using my old copy of the Redbook Of 
American Coins, the final word on Numismatics. Or so I thought!

This book was published in 1978, which was when someone read the data to me. 
Hence, the old blind Wizard has had the wrong weight floating among my 
numerous neurons for some thirty-three years! It is 3.11 grams, NOT the 4.11 
grams I typed.

Now I am going to have to get somebody else who is sighted over here to 
check a later edition of the Redbook to see if they have corrected that 
error!

Thanks again for correcting me, as knowing the correct coin specifications 
is very important to someone interested in Numismatics, such as I am.
