A long time ago in Michigan I found a penny charm. I recently tried to find info on it and I see big prices. However, I don't see this particular penny as most of the color has come away and revealed a silver color. Tried a magnet and it didn't stick to it.

What is it made of? Is it worth anything? I'm new here. Hopefully these pictures show up.

It is an Encased Cent. Not sure about the color,may have been plated at one point now wearing off. I see little if any premium for it.

You have a common date cent that has been encased in a bezel for use as jewelry.

There is no numismatic premium for the item - might be worth about $1 to someone who wants to place it on a charm bracelet.

The color may have come from plating or immersion in mercury.

Looks to be plated some time ago, and really now just a damaged coin. IMHO.
