Looks like the edge may have been damaged from being in a bezel or an encasement of some sort. Should be more opinions along shortly.

 

If it was struck on the wrong planchet, please tell me what other denomination uses this mixture of coin metal...………... 5c? 10c? 25c? 50c? $1?

I'm trying to make you think!

Need photos that are in focus. Right now I see only blur.

 

Imo it appears to be a MAD.

 

+1 for MAD. A common error with no added value. There appears to be some finning on thick edge.
Clearer photos will help with a proper designation.

 

Famous 1943 Bronze Lincoln Cent Wrong Planchet Error Sells For $282,000 see Chris
it is not me being stupid ..I'M trying to fly before i crawl ..im being crazy .. coin wild

 

here is what direct this direction...this is an article..from here on the net...Sometimes mistakes are made, and the resulting sheets may be too thick or thin. As US coins are supposed to weigh a certain amount, and the variation within any mintage is quite narrow, if the planchets are incorrect, this is an error. To the eye, they may appear ok, but generally, even by sight they are “strange”. A planchet that is too thin will show the reverse die on each side “bleeding” thru. One that is too think may not show as much detail and look “muddy”. If a sheet has been rolled with an indentation on it, it will also throw off the correct weight. Ok who is correct??

 

yes it appears to be a MAD ALL RIGHT MAD MONEY HA HA HA HA HA HA HA .for the record i had to throw that in there ...you made that easy...

 

I don't see anything unusual. One of the cents has more pronounced bevels from the rim to the edge but that isn't unusual. Look through a bunch of cents and you will find a lot of them. You can also find them on nickels, dimes, and quarters as well.

 

If it weighs correctly, it's not on a wrong planchet.
It can't be on a larger planchet (it won't fit).
So, if it is on a smaller planchet it can't have full cent rims.
Your coin has full cent rims. It's on the correct planchet.

 

The Weight thats the answer I needed to push me to the correct direction..you have posted the answer.. that will end all doubt .The weight of this coin. Thank You...As US coins are supposed to weigh a certain amount, and the variation within any mintage is quite narrow, if the planchets are incorrect, this is an error.

 

Your coin has full cent rims. It was struck on a cent planchet.
Read my post again.

 

There's nothing wrong with that cent,
and I'll guess that it's within tolerance
for weight.
