Found this in "the cornfield" which years back yielded two completely toasted discs which, based on their size and weight, TNet members surmised had once been large cents. The one found today has a tiny bit of the original face left (I think). I believe I can make out the letters "ber" just to the left of the hole. It appears that the only remaining copper is the green material, right? The rest is non-metallic but doesn't seem to be copper. Was this possibly a counterfeit? If it is, how does one even break even by counterfeiting one cent pieces? Seems to me that time and material required to make a passable fake would exceed the value.
NOTE: Sorry, the photo should be rotated 90 degrees to the right. In the picture as shown, the lettering is below the hole.
