Die Test Run?

Found in a roll of 5¢ coins. Tried to take a picture but it didn't turn out. Have a camera coming next month.
Anyway Everything about this coin is a 2008 5¢ coin, except, I think it is brass and is thinner than a Steel Alloy Nickle.
Any guesses?

Hard to tell without picture,
but possibly it was struck on a wrong planchet.
Did you check to see if diameter is exactly 21.10mm?

I am going to take this into Calgary Coin and get their opinion.
