help identifying "coin"

[jnb1994]

I found a blank coin at work in a roll of quarters and wanted some thoughts of what it might be exactally. It's the same size as a quarter but appers to be pure copper (I think) the rim is just the copper tone with no silver color at all. Some pics:

It may be a plug of some sort.



Look at this one.

I see something like a bust, maybe British. Post it in the "What Is It" section.

Looks like a transit token. I have found a couple in my halves and nickels lately.

looks like an ebay 1/1 if you ask me.

Try posting in the What is it section. No embossing on it whatsoever? Probably a token of somekind, or a super super super rare quarter error(:

It might just be a slug

Nope, nothing. And I wouldn't mind it being a super super super rare quarter error lol

It could be but what I don't get is why it has the ridges then. Wouldn't a slug just have a flat edge?

 

[Dihren]

Yah. Thats true. Very interesting

Do the ridges line up with a standard quarter? It could be a blank planchet I suppose, although the copper tone is very odd for it to be cut in quarter-size.

I don't think they do from what I remember

 

[ArkieBassMan]

My guess is a blank planchet from some foreign coin.

There are 119 ridges on the US quarter, it there is more/less then 119 ridges, it is not a US planchet. good luck.

Looks like a copper blank that are use for souvenir coins and tolkens. Some do come with ridges and other patterns.

Any chance this being a US gold coin worn all the way down? (thats some wishful thinking for you, jbn)

If this coin is gold I would be pretty happy lol. Is there anything I could use to determine the metal content like a kit?

Just put it on a scale. It's the same size as a quarter. Compare it to a silver quarter. If its less then a silver quarter it couldn't be gold.

is it magnetic?
