Are you talking about a Texas penny?
Put into a leather belt and struck with a rubber mallet to make it larger.
Take a photo next to a regular sized penny to show scale.
Or, are you talking about the size of the D?
In either case, it's one cent.

 

How big is it?

First ask if it's a Mint Error, this is more important than value!... then ask about worth

I say not a Mint error

 

Can we help? YES
Is this coin an error? NO
What's the value? ONE CENT
What should I do with it? SPEND IT

 

.8320 mm

 

Weight is 2.5

 

22 millimeters

 

Sorry about that 22 milliliters

 

A normal cent is 19mm, so it was altered after it left the mint and is not an error. @Michael K has a good explanation.

 

22 ml. = 1.5 tablespoons

 

Apparently, it's quite big!

 

Almost worth a cent.

 

Wonder how many people know how to read one of those nowadays.
