Originally looking at it, thought it was a penny struck on a nickel planchet. If it this, you have a cool mint error and its worth exactly what someone is willing to give you for it. There are mint error collectors out there who look for this type of stuff. However, on a second closer look, think Walker may be right. Looks more like a steel penny set in a bezel by a jeweler.

Some are saying the U.S. stamps foreign currency for other countries, and it may be it was stamped on one of those. It all looks and feels more like brass, maybe then copper, but not sure of that. It’s defiantly not a steel penny, 100% sure. And it’s much thicker then a nickel. It’s almost exactly two nickels thick. For some reason pictures won’t post now, trying to figure it out.Last edited by critter69; 05-02-2021, 01:13 PM.

I'm thinking it was made by a jeweler with two, maybe three wheat ears. The wheat ear was 95% copper, 5% zinc. No problem for him to mix the right percentage. No way was that an error, struck by the mint.
