This what the penny is struck on. See the link below for a picture of a cent planchet.

∙ 12y agoIt likely has been plated, but it's possible it may be a wrong planchet error meaning a dime planchet some how got mixed in with the 1 cent planchets. I suggest having a dealer or collector assess the coin.
It may be a wrong planchet error ( 1 cent coin struck on dime planchet) but I doubt it, take it to a dealer or collector to make sure.
$1 or so if it's a current copper-plated zinc planchet, $2 or $3 if it's an older planchet made of solid bronze. A zinc planchet will weigh 2.5 gm while a solid bronze one will weigh 3.11 gm.
You will need to clarify some points in order to get an answer to your question. In 1920 there were two designs of cents made, small cent, and large cent. Both of them are around the one dollar mark unless they are a very high grade. Now, if indeed you have a Large cent design, struck on a small cent planchet, then I would suggest you join a site where you can post a photo and let some experts look at your coin. I have never seen a large cent struck on a different planchet before, so I have an inkling it could be very valuable if it is indeed legitimate. I will suggest you stop by a website (such as the one listed further down this page, under Related Links) where pictures can be posted. There are several members there quite educated in this series and perhaps they will be able to give you a better idea on the value after you post a picture.
A 1 cent 'blank' (planchet): 95% copper is worth $3.00, a plated zinc is worth $1.50.
It's not a Penny it's a Mint medal struck on a 1 cent planchet and has no value
Yes, if they believe that it is in fact a real planchet
Blank quarter planchet; Silver planchet-$35.00 compound planchet-$4.00
If you spend $40 to have it certified as an error (minted on a zinc planchet without the copper plating), it may bring $15. Otherwise, it's worth 1 cent. These unfinished planchet error coins generally sell for 50 cents to a dollar at coin shows.
you'll have to wait for him to go home, the reception in a planchet is abysmal
What date? Denver has struck cents for over a century. Or do you have a cent planchet with just a big "D" on it? These little medals were placed in US mint sets to fill the sixth space in the package for several years when only 5 denominations were minted and have no numismatic value.
It means that it was minted in Philadelphia, D for Denver But the US cent does not have any mintmark if it was minted in Philadelphia. Do you have a cent planchet stamped with just a big P? That would be the mint medal included in Uncirculated Mint Sets in some years when there were only 5 denominations and it filled the sixth space in the package.
