This Appears To Be A Lincoln Planchet (?)

This looks like a coin that has spent some time in a large (1/2"-3/4") medium tumbler.

After comparing the " Dryer Coin" with the Lincoln Cent that I have, I determined it isn't a Dryer Coin. The rim appears to be raised due to the photo and is smooth.

The Lincoln Cent weighs 2.43g, the dime weighs 2.27g and is smaller than the Lincoln Cent.

Coin has been sanded down. Like nfine said. Back then the soda machines weren't to precise, you just had to get the coin close to the size and weight.[ Don't ask me how I know.]

Here is a closer look at the obverse of the Lincoln coin. It doesn't look as though it was filed. Would I be wrong if I said it looks as though acid was used?

Agree this has been deliberately altered.
