    Dime sized, Edward VII effigy on obverse with no legend. Reverse reads "ONE / CENT / 1902".
    ~17mm diameter (dime sized) and either heavily tarnished or losing silvering over a base layer.

    Possibly a model coin or play token.

    Probably a longshot, but does anyone recognize this?

    Looks like somebody might have had some fun with a Canadian large cent.

    Notice that the portrait and date are the normal size for a Canadian large cent. It was cut out from a full sized coin. Probably plated as well. Why? Who knows

    You should be paying attention in school, not Surfing the coin chat boards :D Do your best in school, coins can wait.

    BTW: I stayed active in coins all through school, college, and grad school. But school always had priority. Ended up with a good career that helped fund my hobby.
