    The coin has all the features of a real coin but it is twice as thick as other coins. Any ideas?

    In order to properly value the item stated above, pictures are a must. No valuation or information about the coin you mentioned can be given without photos or scans of the coin.

    Actually, weight/diameter/specific gravity/luster/micro the thickness....etc will do.

    It should also be lighter in color, from 1859 to 1864 the cent was made from a nickle bronze alloy, they were thicker than cents made after 1864.
