I found this 1983 Penny that appears to be coated in some type of silver colored metal. There are small chips in the coating on the rim where the copper underneath shows. I'm wondering if this was some type of souvenir penny or is it unique. Has anyone seen one like this? Thanks for your help :)

Not terribly important, but the obverse shows a minor misaligned die.
