    It is definitely bronze, brass, or copper and 22.5 mm & 5.4g. Any ideas?

    22.5mm and 5.0g would fit a 20¢ piece; though both the weight and composition are off. I do not know of any other us coinage that measures 22.5mm.

    my question is what coin it would have been? and it came from a world coin bin in an antique shop so even the country is in question?

    I don't know if this will help?

    It fits pretty well in this U.S. Quarter Dollar 2x2 flip. Any Ideas what this planchet would have been?

    I re-measured and it is 24 mm. exact. that would explain it's snugness in the Quarter Dollar flip and re-weighted and still come up with 5.4g.
