Have another one that's probably just somebody feeling like coloring a Penny, but put it out there anyways.

Got a 1995-D, which is all silver color. Could be an incorrect planchet (I suppose, and hope) or just someone taking a spraycan to a penny. Pictures attached. Weight seems about right at 2.5g, but certainly looks like aluminum.

Probably plated. Do the edges show any copper color.

Well it wasn't struck looking like that. Altered coin. If it were an unplated cent, it would look more like this example:

Note sheen, not shine like it was altered like your coin.

An aluminum cent would weigh less then a gram. Plated would be my opinion too

How does that exist? I thought they were all government property.

Plated in a high school lab experiment,
or by a young guy at home, using a hobby chemistry set.

I'd weigh it before throwing it back. Small chance but could be an interesting find
