It is a plated coin, probably done in High School labs with either mercury, or a nickel plate dip.

I agree with Crazyb0. Plated.

It's worth 1 cent, so either spend it, put it with all the other change you eventually will take to your bank/Coinstar, or just hang onto it as a conversation piece.

That is a great question, if it weighs 0.937gr then you may have an elusive 1974 aluminum cent! Which never made it into circulation.(Highly Doubtful ) but you never know.

I agree you should try to figure out how to weigh it. Very doubtful it's an Aluminum one but never know until you weigh it.

To CCF! It's most likely been plated, but if you can get the weight, we can confirm whether or not it has been plated.
