Has a more gold than red color. It weighs just 3.05 grams.

Was it plated or scrubbed? Didn't look pitted to me

Look at the more golden color in the pic around the IN GOD WE TRUST. To the naked eye, that is the color of the whole thing.

It's not nearly as red as a normal cent.

Weird stuff can happen to coins. Seems like a combination of normal toning, staining, wear, etc.
