  12. What could this POSSIBLY have been from?

    A few months ago I was lookin through some cents, and I found this guy. It's worn down pretty flat on both sides. It couldn't have been an ender on both sides because it doesn't look like it's scratched at all! I did the old flick test and it sounds like it's copper, so it's from either 80...
