I think you've got all the signs for a wrong planchet. The 2 centavo is a perfect match up by mass, mint, year, size, and even the thickness (slightly thinner than a normal cent) along with the aforementioned weaker strike which would be expected for nickel.
To echo others though, with that scratch you're looking at a details grade, but authentication doesn't hurt

BadThad ... tested positive for nickel. Either plated or a nickel composite... mint was producing 75/25 copper nickel for some foreign countries.

Has been authenticated by PCGS as a wrong planchet mint error..." stuck on a Colombia two Centavos". have not unboxed yet & they're a couple of weeks behind uploading a trueVeiw image. I will post a pic of the slab for the community this weekend. TY all for your help! :-)

I believe it should have been at least an XF Details because a Columbia blank is thinner and could never have been fully struck. I see a lot of Philly's... no other DENVER's so I was wondering if this is a "one of a kind /Denver"?

I finished an ebook... Historical Fiction based on the discovery of this coin... various platforms. Never thought, in a million years, I would write a book, even a SHORT READ about anything. As a newbie to the hobby in 2018 having the "Coin Community" Family was truly a GREAT ADVENTURE! THANK YOU ALL!!!
the ebook THE AMAZING STORY OF AMANDA "THE COIN HUNTER" will be on many platforms by Halloween. I have copyrighted a NAME I gave this coin, I know it's very unusual and I apologize to anyone offended by this. Also, the cover does not have this coin on it (did not want to give the reader too much) so I did not post it here...once again THANK YOU ALL! Ron
