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.
Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you. For there
is nothing hidden which will not become manifest." --- Gospel of Thomas (Lamdin translation)
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.
