Is this copper?
bob:)
I have one Identical to that. I couldn't say, but in the not so distance past in the seedier parts of town phone booths worked well with it.
It's round.
It's a silverish color with what I believe might be rust in the brown spots
What diameter is it?
The court jester does not play, but gently pulls the strings…
electrical box slug
no, I'm not sure actually
Exact size of this 1862 IHC
I'm pretty sure. Check for two rough spots on opposite edges.
Is it magnetic? It could well be an electrical box slug. Now, it does look rusted, but I thought I was seeing a copper color which was just like I originally said; I thought a phone booth slug as back in the day not too long ago.
I would guess a slug.... but see no typical rough spots on the edge.....unless they were filed off... any sign of 'work' on the edge?? If it was copper, then it would likely be a blank planchet....I have one or two of them. Cheers, RickO
It is a piece of worthless metal...jmho.
I think you outta stop buying things you have no clue about, and start cracking open those books you have. Was it visible at the time you purchased the 'big collection'? I'm guessing you just took the sellers word, if you didn't see it at time of purchase. You HAVE to look at each coin (if that's what it is....I'm partial to the electrical box 'punch-out' that's been mentioned).
Why you have to ask shows me you just bought a bunch of coins without actually looking at ALL of them. A VERY good way to lose lots of $$$!
It's a waste of time. No matter what it once was, it isn't worth the time you are putting into identifying it. Even if it was once an 1877 Indian cent, it's scrap metal now.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
It looks like it may be a New Jersey colonial. If you rotate the bottom image 90 degrees it looks like there are plow handles and the scroll visible.
You gonna get it CAC'ed?
In the Second picture it looks like a a start of hole in the center

It looks like something you would see on eBay in a no reserve auction and a title like "blank Indian Head cent planchet ????," "from an estate sale," "rare," "cheap," "underrated," etc., with a story. Every terrible coin or listing comes with at least one story.
It slightly resembles a moon from one of our planets in our solar system. Other than that I vote electrical box slug.
Rorschach test.
