I found a 1981-D Lincoln memorial coin, but it isn't a penny. It is copper, or looks copper. It is the exact diameter of a dime, but much thinner. It weighs 1.6 grams. I can clearly read the data and the legends. The thickness appears to be less than 1/3 of a dime. If a penny had been ground down, there would not be readable date and legends. And if it had weathered naturally, I doubt that all the lettering would be of equal legibility, front and back. What could this be? It is too thin for a dime planchet, and it appears to be copper.
