Plated coin.
Weight is correct.
Plating is melting and flowing on the reverse.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Looks like silver solder to me. Post mint damage.

Probably been plated for a piece of jewelry and soldered to a mount. Just PMD |

One side is clear molding, the other could be a cyanide cold plating. PMD sure. In 1956 was no plated coins from the mint. |

If it is magnetic, it has been plated with Nickel.
There is no extra premium for aftermarket plated
coins as they are considered damaged.
Keep as a novelty coin.

Yep, plated post-mint and I see no error on the reverse.

Both 1956 coins in this thread are simply plated, damaged coins. Worth only face value, and as conversation pieces only.

And, since they are 1 cent coins plated or painted silvery-coloured, they're technically illegal, as one could readily pass them for a 10 cent coin; as such they are "counterfeit coins" as defined by Section 448(c) and (e) of the Canadian Criminal Code. So no matter how much you might think you can get for them, they're technically illegal to sell. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

still a neat coin, it had been used as a dime at the place I work, so I see what you mean that its considered counterfeit
I'll hang on to it

I found a similar one, but mine is 1953. My advice is to take a risk and send it in to get graded and authenticated as I will shortly. These look way too real and in perfect condition to be dipped for no apparent reason. Jewelry, lol. I don't think so. To assume it was dipped by a third-party is just nonsense without considering the other possibilities.
