Value? About $50.
I have also seen them partly struck up, probably a Grease Filled Die.

If it's real it probably hasn't been struck at all as there doesn't appear to be any edge milling.

Have a look to see if there is any hint of the design. This will increase it's value as it's no longer just a blank coin.

Purple penny I was actually on that website and seen those pages which is why I decided to dig it out thus the making of this post. Sadly I cant see any sign of printing. There is no edge milling, edge milling is before stamping isn't it. So concluding prob just $2 blank? :(

I think that the edge milling is during striking rather than before.

Yes, edge milling is applied during the striking process.
