Need a weight (in grams) also.

EDIT: With the rims thick and creeping back onto the surface it could be a great example of a Dryer Coins also.

did we get full images yet - they would be helpful to see the rim fully.
could be a Dryer Coin or an acid dipped coin, but I 'think' I see a few die chips on the date.
