I'll wait for the experts. Apparently a Greaser, and plated, perhaps?  to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog

I have one that looks exactly like that. I'm pretty sure it's plated. There are YouTube videos on how to change the color of cents to silver and gold, but I can't remember if those were copper-plated or 95% copper cents.
Possibly a school science experiment?

If they're actually brass, not toned, and also BU then they can command a little bit of value.Check out this letter from the mint explaining how it happens.  |

It seems like something is missing from the middle part of the letter. "It is possible to...."

I noticed that, too. The last paragraph doesn't make much sense to me, either. An explanation is given and then a reason to disregard the explanation?  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

OK so this is my take on the letter :
When they say it is possible to - followed by an explanation for how it sometimes happens - they state that in this particular case due to the studies they performed they ruled out that possibility.
