If this is a an incomplete planchet (which I'm not seeing), it wouldn't have any value due to its condition.
I wonder where 1980 came from?

Is it the same size as a cent?  By the looks of the flange could it be a cap off of something |

It is slightly smaller than a regular cent.(Maybe 1 mm?)About the same thickness.I'm stumped.You might be right-GARAGE job.I'll try for better pics.

Just spent 1/2 hour in MY garage, and just about got it down. I've seen worse go for stupid $$.

This is just a piece of metal. Looks like it's probably brass.

Thanks guys. I was kind of hoping it was a blank planchet.Oh well  I still don't get 1980 Even if it was a real blank .In hand you can just vaguely see very,very light markings on both sides.Possible lettering But no numbers I think I better give up on this one. Thank you for all your responses Edited by collectall

If it was a blank planchet, it was then severely damaged and would have no value other than its metal content.
