The plating is worn off from circulation. PMD. Not an error at all. The weight is also normal and on point.

Looks like a normal worn 1994 cent to me.
Why do you think it is a wrong planchet?

The reason I think it is a different metal because the metal is silver in color. Does not appear to be copper. And the weight is very light.

Modern Lincoln Cents from 1982 to 2025 are made with zinc and are plated with copper.

Patina is a silver/ black collor. Could it be missing the copper clad layer?

Lincoln Cents aren't made with clad. They made with copper plated zinc. The copper plating was worn off from circulation. It's not an error. The copper plating could of been chemically stripped off or it could be a Texas Cent, if it's larger in size.

For one thing, the weight is not very light, a 1994 cent should weigh approximately 2.5g, just like yours.
Also the "silver" you are seeing is probably the zinc core showing through in areas where the copper has worn down.
