Copper, rotated reverse.
Anyone see any other tell tale signs?

Impossible for a larger sized planchet to feed into a smaller sized coining chamber. A cent can be struck on a dime planchet but not vice versa unless it receives special help from a mint employee.

Even on the machines used in 1910?
On the flip side, that doesn't appear to be large enough for a cent planchet, does it?

True.

I use to also think that a cent planchlet wouldn't/ couldn't be struck by a dime die. I now think that it has happened on rare occasions, and recently in the late 1990's.
This is a more than interesting coin (- love those Barbers -) and if its authenticated , I think that this is a more than a highly unusual coin.

Copper is harder than silver. Could account for the ratty strike.
Just my humble opinion.

Hi,
Copper is indeed softer than silver. As for the rest, only a guess.

It doesn't appear to be reeded.
