What's the weight of your coin? Could of been struck on a Rolled Thin or Tapered Planchet.

not a Greaser, but rather a tilted die or rolled thin planchet.
I stand corrected. Still a nice example.

Sorry sorry sorry it's 2.5 Also forgot not attached the pics
I made a mistake yesterday and must have put the wrong coin on the scale to weigh it's not 3.1 it way thinner slightly smaller and it has a real unique ting sound. Not like silver. Very close to the sound of a dime but has more of really high type pitch type ring to it. lol. Hard to explain. Also close to aluminum or Bronze. It's in between them all.

So what could this be now. U all kept asking like to see the weight. Why was that? Sorry Now that it's 2.5. I mixed it when I weighed a dime. Does this have any significants ?

Lmk please

Would a tapered Planchet make the coin sound totally different when you do the drop test etc.

Tman1515, it might. I would stop dropping it though, since it's worth a little bit of money. No more dropping it. Put it in a 2x2.

I wouldn't send it in but for some reason these coins with no date will sell for much more than a coin with a similar error that has a date.
If I had to guess a value somewhere in the $25 range.
