    Do I have to call on the submission form the planchet that it was struck on? Research reveals that the US mint made hundreds of different coinage for many different countries at the time.

    I was at the pawn shop a few months back and picked this 1/10th balboa out of the bargain bin on the presumption that it was silver. The coin is off weight upon revisiting it, with it being 2.8g and the correct weight being 2.5g. When I first saw it, I thought somebody hit a Panamanian quarter with a ball peen. But it's not silver at all! I don't think it's even zinc. It's weight feels more like steel or some sort of aluminum alloy. Maybe somebody dropped something that wasn't even a planchet into the feeder? It clearly says ley 900. No idea.
