Found this today in a 1 cent roll from the bank I bought a few days ago. I've never seen one until now.

I love you all ~Spec ✌️

    Looks like a waffled cent. Don't know how it got into a roll.

    Looks like a slug used for something and stuffed into the roll.

    @jmlanzaf thanks. Never seen a waffled coin. Yeah it's weird, I got it from a frost bank and also the roll had about ten or fifteen dimes in there too!

    Is it flat? Weigh it. It should weigh the same as a cent.

    Slug? Also it's sandwiched. I promise on all that I love it was in a roll.

    Wouldn't be the first slug that got into a roll. Weight should tell you.

    Was it a machine wrapped roll or a customer wrapped roll? Can't see something like that going thru a machine.

    Not a waffled cent. They look nothing like this.

    Looks like an elongated cent experiment.

    Google lens says it's a cathedral disc.
    At least you found those dimes :)
    PS That's just the name that stuck

    I don't know about nothing. It's a waffled something.

    Yes I agree waffled something but it's not a cent. JMO

    It would have to be a blank planchet as there is no trace of Lincoln

  • Thanks for all the input. Contacting coneca. I hope it's a waffle cancelled coin. I've never seen one like this

    Did you weigh it?

  • JBKJBK Posts: 15,571 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Looks too thin.

    Holding it wrong. The acids and oils are doing their thing.

    I don't think it was a mint error that was sent through the waffle machine. It kind of leads you to that however, this is an example of a quarter that the mint sent through their waffle machine. It was a quarter and looks different but yours has a design on it and it isn't nearly as severe of a waffle as what the mint did on this quarter.

    It is probably just some type of manufacturing item that was left over from a certain production process.
    This is an example of what the Royal Canadian Mint does when they find a mint error and decide to send it through the waffle machine. And this attachment you can see the corn that was waffled and the Canadian dollar that is not waffled.

    That is (was) not a cent... a metal disc, probably copper, made for some purpose that will likely remain unknown. Cheers, RickO
