i have a blank that is really close to the size of a half dollar but a little big. I'm confused to what it might be, its not a silver or clad blank because the weight of my Ben is 12.56 grams, the weight of a clad half is about 11.5 grams(i dont have one with me right now) and the weight of my "coin" is 13.34 grams. the only thing it could be is a capped bust half bank but I doubt that because, well, its a little to heavy and the chance that it is is pretty low.
any help on what this might be? a world coin blank perhaps?

Ah, I guess they had no insight as to where it came from?

Well, it is a coin planchet - that much is pretty obvious. What it is and where it is from would be tough to figure out. I guess it's time to hunt through a krause that matches your planchet's weight and metal. Looks like nickel in the image - it's not silver.
