Hello, I have along with coins in my inherited collection this coin-shaped thing. Though it's missing any obvious information, I was hoping that it would be one of those simple yet valuable coins. I would appreciate any help.

When a blank goes into a coin press impressions are left and a coin is made.
There is no coin that is blank
If than is a blank, we would need to know the weight and diameter and thickness
Chances are that is not a coin, but as said an accurate weight and measurements will help to rule out some possibilities.

Even with all the damage, it still doesn't
look like a Cent planchet at all.
It is 2.3 g and 3/4'' in diameter. I can't measure the thickness with the ruler I have.
That is a plain copper slug... Not a coin. Cheers, RickO
Finish the X all the way thru and you will have a Bit Slug, in fact a 4 Bit Slug.

The current cent is 2.5 grams and 3/4” in diameter
However the deep gouges on that would have exposed the zinc core that the current cent has. Plus it is under weight.
I was thinking electrical box punch out.
Yeah, with a little added "tint" to the picture color to make it look copper - notice the white background is different shades of pink.......
