Could this be a blank without rim error?

In a bag of Indian head and Lincoln cents was this blank without a rim. The coins (over 200) in the bag were evenly dispersed from 1864 to 1958.

This blank weighs 3.85grams,
Diameter 19mm,
Thickness approximately 0.15mm

The picture shows an Indian head cent as reference.

The diameter and thickness appears right for a Lincoln cent but the weight is off.
The diameter is correct for an Indian head but weight and thickness (I measured one to be 0.13mm) appears off.

Could it be a U.S. blank?
Could it be a foriegn blank?
Or is it just a blank disc and has nothing to do with coins?

What do you think?

Thank you in advance for your comments.
