Any idea what this is? Is it a coin? It's smooth all over and slightly bigger than a penny. Looks like the same depth. I found it in a yard of an old schoolhouse.

It looks like a penny that someone messed with, maybe you can weigh them and see if they’re both the same.
 
Thank you I didn't have a scale for grams so I ordered one and just weighed it. A normal penny weighed 3.10 g and this one weighed 4.18 g. What do you think that means? I still have no idea.
 
Well it's still the most exciting thing I've ever found. Interesting they could increase the penny's weight by messing with it. Well I'll carry on now.
 
Keep at it, and you're going to find things a lot more exciting.

My guess is either a smooth button missing the shank or the wheel off of an oil lamp. I do not believe that was ever a penny. Nice find!
 
Oh sorry...I scrolled too quickly on the pictures and thought the penny image was the other side of it. DOH!. But ya, looks like a button of some sort.
