Welcome to the forum

I wouldn’t call it rare, it was probably struck from a thin planchet that was punched from thin roll stock.   
You are about .28g underweight, not really a lot.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Your scale is a cheap pocket scale made in China either CE or AWS, no? It is a terribly abused scale with crud and corrosion all over the weighing tray and I highly doubt the weight it is showing is accurate. These cheap scales are rarely accurate even after calibration tests where the scale says PASS. I had three of this type of scale and all ended up in the garbage because the weights were inaccurate.

Sorry, but I bet this is a normal weight cent. You need a new scale and not a cheapie one.
