I feel silly but I did spend quite a while trying to find this.. I'm also only a month or so in to coin collecting so bear with me please!

At first I thought it was "Copper Nickel Clad" Philly ( RedBook).. but since then I've learned that would only be evident on the edge.

Then I thought some sort of cameo proof..

It weighs around 6 grams so can't be the silver correct? Also no mintmark (it would be S for proof)

I'm starting to think someone did this with marker or somethign (My wife got this from a co-worker after she mentioned I was starting to collect)

doctored?

I agree with the marker idea. It is PMD.

Your coin it is Philla. strike, can be see was strike only once. Do not forgot, the nickel clad is 5.67 gr. and the S silver clad is 5.75gr.
The marker could be took out with alcohol.

Silviosi, thank you I will wipe that marker off asap.

Dearborn, prime suspect is a child who colorized it.

It could also be the result of someone buying a gold-plating kit/tool and practicing their technique on a low-value coin.
