What's the weight on it? I found something similar recently but I think mine is an old copper.

I don't think coins run over by a train stay so close to circular. More oval. And the coin is usually thicker in the middle than on the edges. My husband spent a part of his childhood participating in the sport of " train vs coin" we live in a small town and it was really hard to stay out of trouble.

That certainly looks like Jefferson's profile in the second pic. Could be a train nickel. Nice!
