I would also suggest that you weigh the coin and let us know what it is. if you don't have a scale handy - place a popscicle stick on top of a pencil so that it is balanced. Then place your coin on 1 end and a normal cent on the other. Is one heavier ? If so which ? |
Kinda looks like it might be on a foreign planchet maybe? I wonder what the mint was producing for other countries that year that might be that diameter?
