[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3717901, member: 78298"]It's not struck on a foreign planchet. If it was, it has to be smaller than a cent planchet. Some coins are the same size and weight as US coins, but over 99% are not.(If it was the same size, composition and weight there would be no way to know if it was foreign.) A larger coin can't fit as it is designed for a penny blank to fit. To be struck on a foreign planchet the coin would be smaller than a regular penny, lighter than a regular penny, and the complete penny rims would be partially interrupted because of the smaller size. If your coin has complete rims, etc. I don't know what this current fascination with "struck on a foreign planchet" is all about. These coins do exist, but they are rare.[/QUOTE]
