silver Indian head penny?

(1/1)

JIMBY:
yup I know there is no such animal but this one may be struck on the wrong planchet. it weighs 4.4grams, has no ridges on side so not a dime planchet.
about the size of a penny ,smaller than nickel. not by much, and you know my question [idea] any ideas??
I think the worn date in first photo is 1878, thanks all. Jimby

The Indian Head cent was cast in bronze which reacts differently to different soils.
