It's likely an altered coin with no collectible value. Take it to a coin dealer so it can be seen.
Small change is generally accepted at at par value in Canada and the US. The minor differences in actual value are too small to bother with.
More than likely, this is a standard cent that is not copper-plated. Since 1984 all US cents have been made of copper-plated zinc. Missing the outer copper coating, your coin is worth a couple of dollars.
All 1983 and later U.S. cents are made of copper-plated zinc. Your coin may either have been plated a second time or dipped in acid, in which case it's worth 1 cent, or it could be a coin that never was coated with copper in the first place. The latter is worth a significant premium, but you'd need to take it to a dealer who specializes in error coins.
a penny, ford rangers arent worth crap

Kevin Penny was born on 1987-10-03.
25 cents Please look at your pocket change or get a couple of rolls of quarters from a bank. You'll find dates from 1965 onward. They're all made of copper-nickel and are all worth the same as your 1987 quarter.
It's worth at least a penny... But seriously, you need to provide more information to get an appraisal. What do you mean "double stamped" ? Is it a strike double? a die double? a two-headed coin? Ask a new question with more details, and perhaps a link to pictures of the coin, and we'll try to help.
Your coin is a 1987 bronze British One Penny coin. It features the third portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a crowned portcullis on the reverse. This particular design was issued from 1985 to 1991 inclusive. From 1992 to 1997, the same design was used on the almost identical copper plated steel version of the coin. These coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth 1 Penny.
No such coin was ever minted.
Uh, better check that coin again. The U.S. has never made silver pennies. However, it HAS been making them out of copper-plated zinc since 1982 so you could have one of the following: > A coin that was plated a second time to add a silver-colored layer, or dipped in acid to remove the copper plating. Both are only worth one cent. > A coin that was never plated during the minting process. This is the good one because it's a mint error that could be worth up to $100, but you'd need to take the penny to an expert who specializes in error coins to verify that it isn't one of the other 2 possibilities.
