Was this struck on a foreign planchet and if not what is this penny. The weight is 2.4g

Looks to be a Dryer Coin.

Agree, not a foreign planchet.
Thick rims and smaller diameter = Dryer Coin.
It is considered damaged and has no numismatic value.
Keep as a novelty if you like.

Nice find, LotsOfCoins, and to the CCF!
I'd say it's a keeper - nice educational piece and a conversation starter too.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
