There thing you have going for you is that this was indeed minted. There are tones of blank discs available that were not. Collectors like to see at least a partial date or identifying detail, which your coin has the latter, but not much of. My guess is it's more than 99% off centre, but like I started with saying, at least there is a partial rim there that shows it was, without question, it was struck. Did you get this from circulation? Just curious, interesting nonetheless.  Edited by merclover

Yes it was from circulation I suppose around 1990 or perhaps a little earlier. Not valuable but interesting so I put it in a 2x2 and into my binder next to my other blank planchets. Around the same time I pulled a bent up penny from the stomach of a 40 pound tuna I was cleaning and put that in my odd collection as well.

Nice, I'd say it has good "eye appeal".. (because it looks like the profile of an eyeball)  |

Nice find and definitely 2x2 worthy.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

It looks like a copper planchet. What's the weight? It should be 3.11 grams if copper or 2.5 grams if it's zinc.  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Yes it is a copper planchet. Considering that I picked it from circulation about 1990, that means it had to be in circulation for at least 8 years. Perhaps sitting a drawer somewhere, who knows.
