Weight is important. Foreign planchet would not explain this though, when the planchet is struck it would still be the same size and thickness as a cent because it is being pressed into the dies by the strike. Most likely just some sort of damage.

I'm leaning toward post-strike damage.

I may be wrong but I don't think the US Mint is still striking coins for foreign governments. The last one I can find was the Iceland 1000 Kroner in the year 2000. Struck on a foreign planchet can happen when a planchet intended for a foreign nation's coinage is struck by dies for a United States coin. As to your quote, yes this type of error was more common before 1984, when the U. S. Mint cut back its production of coins for other countries. What is less commonly known is that it still may occur as planchets are supplied to our mints at times by commercial vendors, and these vendors also service the mints of other countries. So it's not impossible for a shipment of planchets intended for one country to accidentally include those of another country. Even currently the Mint makes blanks for: Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, Half dollars, Dollars but for pennies, numismatic coins, and bullion coins, the Mint buys blanks. https://www.usmint.gov/learn/produc...n-production It is left to quality control as to whether this would be found commonly or rarely, or not at all imo. A smooth edge makes me think of a early state Dryer Coin. It also smashes and flattens the design of the coin over time so they look thicker and fatter. http://goccf.com/t/143863 Edited by datadragon

What Data stipulate seem to be ok. I will verify this because I am not sure if was 2000 or 2001. In anyways, the US Mint do not done plated coins for foreign except if was not a wrong planchet but gone in the designated country.

2015 cent was 2.5 gr. 2.41 will be in the tolerance. As I state before I will check if the Mint produce foreign coins in that period. The answer was is NO. And any foreign coins if they do will be strike at Philadelphia and not Denver or San Francisco.
