@jim, first welcome to CCF. Second, with a weight of just over 3g, this seems to be a normal cent that someone has plated or perhaps rubbed in Mercury. Is a magnet attracted to it at all?
Also, when you say that it is "non-metallic", can you please clarify your meaning? Thx.

The only thing I can say about this coin in the blurry image it that it is the year my mother was born.

The color is a little odd but that could be the lighting..
Weight is normal for a copper cent for that year,
Seems like an XRF scan would be about the only way to determine percentages of metallic content.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Seems like different substances were considered. Plastic and glass and other things.
