Message:: [QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 4803001, member: 114169"]Okay, I found this one in a roll of coins DECADES ago, I don't remember if it was in a roll of dimes or cents.  Wasn't sure what I was looking at, my research back then was inconclusive.  I put it away, still confused as heck about it. Here is MY theory on what it is.  I am open to your thoughts as well - actually, more than open.  I got no idea what this one could be. Given the year, I surmise that a sheet of copper center clad material (before it was bonded to the outer nickel cladding) made it's way to a dime planchette stamping machine.  Dime sized planchettes were stamped out of this thin center core copper sheet. Later, a mint employee saw these small copper rounds and dumped them into the Lincoln cent bin where this little 1964 was stamped out, a weak stamp as it is much thinner than a normal cent.  It's diameter is exactly the same as a modern Roosevelt. I am thinking this was a late 1964 cent produced while they were preparing the clad sheets for next years non-silver coinage. Your thoughts?  Saving the best for last, or some other logical explanation for this one? Oh yeah, if it is what I think it MIGHT be, what's an approximate worth?
