Looks copper. So it maybe an acid dipped cent. How does it measure for diameter? That would be my guess.

A Professional forum? Possibly, but we are not paid anything here. I think of this forum as a conglomerate of like minded people with a passion for coins and Paper money. We come here to learn and to educate, and to have fun.
As for silviosi, he is hard to understand most times. I have come to think that English is not his first and main language. But he IS a great guy and does his best to help out here.

 this is not a professional forum. You get exactly what you pay for it. As for silviosi, he is a great person who knows his stuff, and we stand behind him.  |

I may have said it incorrectly it may not be a professional forum but the contributors can act with civility. I am a Mechanical Engineer with 40+ years experience and I think I would know if I was looking at a metallic disc or a coin. The reeding on the edge kind of gives it away.

Since you stated it's the same size as a dime with a reeded edge, my first guess would be a clad dime attacked by an acid or other highly corrosive material, exposing a bit of the copper core. However, the weight you gave is higher than a clad dime (2.27g), so that's not likely the case.
The granular-appearing surface is puzzling.
You have the same partial photo uploaded twice in your original post. Please upload full photos of the obverse and reverse.
