@lazy, first welcome to CCF. Second, best practice is to start a new thread for each new coin and so I have split your post off from that 2013-dared thread. Here is a link to it though for reference: http://goccf.com/t/137651"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Almost looks like it is plated.
Is it magnetic or non magnetic ?

 It looks plated. It also looks too well centred and fully struck to be from a smaller and thinner planchet. As suggested , weigh it and check with a magnet. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

It looks plated to me as well. You can also see where the pliers held the coin while being dipped.

I agree it looks plated and I'm not sure it would have full rims if struck on a ten cent planchet.
What's the weight, circumference and is it magnetic or non-magnetic?
Cheers, Bill

I agree with the others, it looks plated.
However, the rim clip is legit.

Hey everyone, I was just able to check the coin to see if it is magnetic, and it is not. What does this tell us? I'm just learning here. &  |

Another silly question about this coin being plated, why would someone want to do that anyways?

Sometimes they were high school experiments, plated for jewellery, sometimes a marketing ploy etc. I gave my granddaughter a set that was plated in 4 different colours so they are not uncmmon. |

It tells us that the 1980 penny you have is copper.

The corner looks like a minor clipped planchet, not marks from pliers as others suggested.
